CURPHEYAND ROBI DUTTA

A BRITISH dimber was kilted and
' his wife and stepson were trapped
: ior 48 hours after falling into a 98ft
l crevasse near the. summit of Mont
'Kant

- Professor Stephen Caswell. 37,
suffered serious bead injuries and
died several hours after the acci¬
dent on Sunday afternoon.

Pamela Caswell and her 16-year-
old son, Simon, were airlifted to
hospital yesterday after rescuers

had virtually given up hope of
findin g than alive in freezing
temperatures. They were winched
up by a helicopter after their fading
torch light had been spotted by a
passing group of mountainers.

The family, from Plymouth, were
roped together at more than
11.400ft crossing an ice bridge
between two crevasses when- ir
collapsed underneath them.

Mrs Caswell and Simon fell into
the crevasse and Professor CasweD,
of t he Geo logy department at the
University ofPlymouth, managed

on family trip dies on Mont Blanc

to prevent himself from falling and
held the rope, as his wife and
stepson dangled below. Bui he was
unable to hold on for long and fell,
breaking his lqg and sustaining,
serious head injuries. His family
gave him first aid but he died about
six hours later.

The mother and son. who were
experienced climbers, kept warm
in the crevasse by boiling water
from melted snow on a small gas
stove. The family bad reached die
summit of the mountain and were
cm their way back when they fell chi

the Italian side. Rescue teams had
been searching for them since they
were reported missing on Sunday.
Bad weather closed the mountain
and rescue services were hampered
fay freezing temperatures during
the day. A series of electrical storms
had swept the area since Monday.

When the mountaineers spotted
the torch light and went to investi¬
gate they neard a whistling sound
coming from a rock fissure near a
mountain refuge.

Mrs Caswell and her son were
taken to hospital in Chamonix.

France, suffering from hypother¬
mia, frostbite and shade The body
of Professor Caswell was taken to
Courmayeur in Italy. The British
Consul in Turin was making
arrangements to transport the
body back to Brinun.

Mom Blanc, western Europe’s
tallest peak a: I5.77ifu attracts
thousands of mountaineers ana
walkers each summer. The moun¬
tain is famous for its glacial slopes
and deep crevasses. The French
call Mont Blanc, le mom maud it.
[the accursed mountain). In the

past three years more than 30
people have died on its slopes.

One Italian guide, who helped in
yesterday's rescue, said: “They
survived because they were very 1
well equipped. They had water,
food, and warm clothes. They were
able to boil water from melted
snow on a little gas stove”.

An official at the British Consul
in Leon, which had been in conocr
with the mother and son. said they
were m a state of shock. She said:
“It is a terrible tragedy for the
family. The mother and son were

right on the spot when he died
some hours later. They were well
equipped to go climbing. They
knew what they were doing. It is an
awful business.'’

High temperatures in the Mont
Blanc region hare made conditions
treacherous according to rescue
services.

On July 28. four Italians died in a
similar amidem on the French side
of Mont Blanc. A total of 11 people
died on the slopes in July and the
latest accident brings the number
of deaths in August to eight.

The UN believes the remov¬

region. “This may make the

the blockade is not meant to
stop the flow of food and
medicine.

Bosnian Serb leaders have
imposed a 10-hour working
day and suspended holidays
for all workers in Serb-held
territory, the private Yugoslav
news agmqy Beta reported.

Washington indicated yes¬
terday that UN sanctions
against Belgrade might soon
be eased in a significant
softening of its attitude to¬
wards Serbia. Warren Chris¬
topher. the American Sec¬
retary of State, said that
President Milosevic seemed to
be making good his pledge to
dose the border with Serb-
held areas of Bosnia.

“If there is a substantial
period of enforcement, of (he
intention that was expressed,
if the border was effectively
closed and if the Bosnian
Serbs seem to be deprived of
' important aid and war-mak¬
ing materiel, dearly there then
would be a case for easing the
sanctions.”

Russia, meanwhile, indicat¬
ed that it had persuaded Mr
Milosevic to abandon his
dream of a Greater Serbia by
promising to campaign for an
earing of sanctions and by
pressing for crucial changes to
the international peace plan
for Bosnia.

Front of proposed new licence: driver’s photograph, name; date of birth and address

Plastic driving licences
could start in two years

By Tim Jones and Nicholas Wood

DETAILS of tire Govern¬
ment's proposed new plastic
driving licence, which could
be in place within two years,
were released yesterday.

The card, which will bring
Britain into line with most
other European countries,
will carry a photograph of the
holder on toe front. Other¬
wise, it will contain much tire
same information as the
present document the name
of die driver, date of birth,
and the period for which the
licence is vaEd. It will include
the class of vehicle the holder
is entitled to drive.

-The new licence will also be
able to accommodate a
microchip to transform it into
a "smart card", giving toe
police instant access through
a national computer to details
of a driver's record. As well as
storing information about
any motoring offences, it
could also cany a national
insurance number and rele¬
vant medical details.

For the next few years at

least, present licence holders
win not be compelled to apply
for toe new plastic card until
their present document ex¬
pires. The card, which proba¬
bly will be introduced first for
provisional licence appli¬
cants. wK be renewable every
ten years to ensure that photo¬
graphs are up to date.

The proposed changes wfll
not alter the automatic entitle¬
ment of a motorist to hold a
licence until be is 70 or, in the
case of a lorry driver, until be
is 45.

Because tbe addition of a
photograph will increase the
value of tbe licence for identi¬
fication purposes, applicants
wfl] be subject to more strin¬
gent checks. They will have to
provide a birth certificate and
verification iff authenticity fay
an authorised signatory, pos¬
sibly a doctor or a magistrate-

Launching the proposal
yesterday, Dr Brian Mawhin-
ney, the Transport Secretary,
denied that his initiative was
a back door route to the

Three Graces wait tor date in court

Three Graces: another.

■■ stay of execution

THE angry owners erf
Caraways Three Graces are
threatening to take legal ac¬
tion over the .Government's
dedskn.to delay granting an
export licence to the Getty
Museum in California.

They accuse toe Govern¬
ment of having manipulated
the rules by extending toe
application by a farther three
months even though the offi¬
cial deadline had-passed four
days before.

John Walsh, dfrector of the
Getty Museum, said.* T
thought a deadline might be a
deadline." He added: This is
a statue toe Government re-
fased tobuy for EI.2m in 1983.
It could have-been bought at
any time state. But there has

not been a singlegoffer made in
the last'll-years." Only after

the deadline had passed was a
public appeal launched by the
National Gallery of Scotland,
which cm Friday joined forces
.with toe Victoria & Albert
Museum. They remain some
£1.8 million short of the £7.6
million target

Fine An Investment & Dis¬
play, the Cayman Islands
company whose sale of toe
sculpture has been dependent
an an export licence, are
seeking a judicial review. Hie
case is befog handled by Luc
Hafher. a Swiss lawyer who
described the British export
system as perverted.

His clients intended to call
Stephen Darrell, the National
Heritage Secretary, who took
the decision to introduce
another deadline, as a witness.

In February, when the li¬

cence was deferred for six
months. Mr Hafrter was as¬
sured by Peter Brooke, then
heritage secretary, that Au¬
gust 5 was a definite deadline.
“But when toe minister writes
that it's definite, it doesn't
mean it's definite; after defi¬
nite, there's ‘a final period’. It
is totally unfair," he said.

He added: “We will ask the
courts... if there are any rules
remaining cm art ... The
minister has to explain why he
acted in that way.” The case is
likely to come before toe courts
within two months.

Mr Dorrefl said yesterday:
“I am confident that what I've
done is within the parameters
of normal practice. If the
money is not forthcoming
during this extension, there
wfll be no further extension."

Introduction of a national
identity card.

He said that one of the
mam aims of the new licence
would be to prevent imper¬
sonation at driving tests. Ac¬
cording to estimates by
London driving school exam¬
iners. at least 1,000 people a
week become “qualified” fry
paying someone else to take
the test for them.

The minister added: "A new
driving licence is long over¬
due. The new card will in-
dude security features to
prevent counterfeiting and
forgery."

Frank Dobson, the shadow
Transport Secretory, said he
had no objection in prindple
to the plan, but questioned
what the costs and benefits
would be. “We also don’t
believe it should be used as a
back-door way of introducing
national identity cards.” be
said. “If the Government
wants national identity cards,
it should say so and start a full
debate about it.

Robert Madennan, tbe
liberal Democrat home af¬
fairs spokesman, also had no
objection in prindple to pho¬
tographs on licences, but he
said that the reform must not
be allowed to happen without
discussion in the Commons.
“If half tbe population is
carrying their driving licences
as a form of identification
card, there wfll be pressure for
the rest to do likewise," he
said.

■ When driving licences
were first issued in 1904 they
were valid for one year.

Major sets out to
challenge Blair
for high ground

By Nicholas Wood and Arthur Leathley

The GOVERNMENT is plan¬
ning a counter-offensive
against Tony Blair’s claims
that 15 years of Tory rule have
ripped apart the soda! fabric
of the country and triggered
the crime wave plaguing
much of Middle England.

The Prime Minister intends
to use his party conference
speech in the autumn to wam
that Labour’s fixation with the
power of the state would only
aggravate social problems .
Mr Major will tell the party
that only fry minimising inter¬
ference by politicians and
bureaucrats wfll individuals
and voluntary groups be en¬
couraged to take responsi¬
bility for building stable and
harmonious communities.

In another move intended to
strengthening the Govern¬
ment's social credentials,
David Hunt, the Cabinet trou¬
ble-shooter. is working on a
relaunch of the Citizen’s Char¬
ter. Yesterday, after a private
meeting with his advisers, Mr
Hunt dedded that toe charter
initiative had to involve the
public more closely in setting
standards for state services.

"It should not be something
handed down like tablets of
stone." one Tory official said.

The role of the citizen will
form a central part of foe next
phase in tbe charter pro¬
gramme. Mr Major has been
frustrated that the initial wel¬

come which greeted the idea
has died, and has called on Mr
Hunt to give it new life. The
minister will use speeches in
the autumn, including his
address to the conference, to
set out his vision of individ¬
uals working in close co¬
operation with public service.

Work cm Mr Major’s
speech. labelled "back to civ¬
ics” in Downing Street, began
before the Prime Minister left
for his holiday in Portugal last
weekend- Although it will go
through more drafts, senior
Tbries say its main theme is
already dear — how only the
Conservative approach of
curbing the long arm of the
state stands any chance of
strengthening key institutions,
such as the family, schools
and hospitals.

Although tbe language will
be different from the “rack to
basics" campaign, which col¬
lapsed amid sexual and finan¬
cial scandals last winter, Mr
Major's message will be simi¬
lar —that Britain’s core values
of self-reliance, decency and
respect for others are bet
safeguarded by toe Tories.

Mr Major will join battle
with the new Labour leader fry
claiming that the Tory ap¬
proach of encouraging par¬
ents to run schools and
residents to play an active role
in fighting crime is far more

Clinton urges IRA
to call ceasefire

and support talks

From Tom Rhodes

IN WASHINGTON

THE White House has urged
the IRA to declare a ceasefire
and support the Downing
Street declaration in a letter
from Anthony Lake, President
Clinton's national security ad¬
viser. to the Sinn Fein leader
Gerry Adams.

The letter, which encour¬
aged a cessation of all violence
in the province, was a reply to
a personal message thar Mr
Adams sent to Mr Clinton
during the three-day ceasefire
in March. Mr Adams had told
Mr Clinton that the ceasefire
was a genuine initiative,
which he hoped would inspire
clarification of the declaration
by the British Government.
Mr Adams apparently said
that if the ceasefire faded to
produce any response, he
would look for alternative
ways to move forward the
peace process.

The White House said yes¬
terday that in a reply handed
to Sinn Fein in April by Val
Martinez, the American con¬
sul-general in Belfast Mr
Lake had maintained the Uni¬
ted States position of total
support for the declaration
and had called for Mr Adams
to work “to achieve the goaf of
entering the peace process".

The United States soured
relations with Britain earlier

■ Police have found a gun
used to murder six Roman
Catholics as they watched a
World Cup match on tele¬
vision in a Northern Ire¬
land pub. Ballistic tests
carried out on a rifle found
dumped in a field have
confirmed the weapon was
fired by UVF terrorists into
Hugh OToole's pub at
Loughisland. Co Down, on
June 18. It was found with
three handguns, boiler
suits, balaclava masks,
gloves and ammunition
magazines near Saintfield.
Co Down.

this year by granting a visa to
Mr Adams. The emergence of
such direct contact between
America and Sinn Fein led to
speculation that further entry
permits might be made avail¬
able. It has been suggested
that leading members of Sinn
Fein might conduct a tour of
large US cities to advance
their cause in the event of any
prolonged ceasefire. But
White House officials said
yesterday that there would be
no visas until the US was
certain that the violence had
come to an end.

“The letter from Mr Lake, in
reply to one from Mr Adams,
was merely a continuing sign
of our commitment to the

peace process." one White
House aide said.

British diplomats, mean¬
while. said the United States
had been extremely support¬
ive of the declaration and any
contact with Sinn Fein was a
matter for the Clinton
Administration.

Although the British Gov¬
ernment is said to have had no
direct contact with the republi¬
can movement, many in the
US Administration tend to
believe there has been negotia¬
tion of a sort and any addition-
si] pressure from Washington
would be more helpful than
embarrassing to John Major.
While wishing to be support¬
ive of Britain, the Clinton
Administration always views
the Ulster question through
the prism of the backing the
Democratic party receives
from millions of Irish-
Americans.

□ Irish detectives carried out
a big operation yesterday
against I SLA fundraising activ¬
ities. raiding up to a dozen
houses in Dublin, arresting
six people and seizing
documents.

A security source said the
operation was aimed at dis¬
rupting the financial opera¬
tions of die IRA and their
involvement in video piracy,
fraud and stolen cars.

Navy help in Biscay ‘doubtful’

From James Landaue in newlyn and Michael Hornsby

CORNISH trawlers headed
out to sea yesterday despite
doubts that the Royal Navy
would be able to protect them
against further attacks from
Spanish fishermen competing
for the same tuna catch.

The Silver Harvester.
which was one of the boats
attacked last week, reached
the disputed fishing grounds
500 miles west of Spain in the
afternoon and reported a
“heavy build-up" of French
and Spanish naval vessels
and fishing craft

Neville McCtindle, the
skipper, said in a message
radioed to the trawler's home
port in Newlyn, Cornwall:
"We are waiting to shoot our

nets with the HMS Anglesey
alongside." He said there had
been no attempt so far by the
Spanish to interfere.

HMS Anglesey is one of
nine Royal Navy gunboats
which have the dual role of
protecting Britain's fishing
fleet and ensuring that British
vessels obey EU fishing rules.
HMS Alderney was due to
arrive last night

Two other trawlers, the
Wendy Palfrey and the Ben-
MyChree. were yesterday
heading for the grounds,
known as the Azores-Biscay
Rise, The Pilot Star and the
Ar-Bageergan, both of which
had their nets cut by Spanish
trawlers last week, were aim¬

ing to sail from Newlyn
tomorrow or Friday, depend¬
ing on the weather.

Mike Townsend, chief exec¬
utive of the Cornish Fish
Producers' Organisation, said
a hotline was to be set up
between his organisation in
Newlyn and the naval vessels
on patrol. He said: “Even so. I
think the Navy is going to be
severely tested to provide
protection."

Mick Faulkener. 42, skip¬
per and owner of the Golden
Bells II. which arrived back in
port on Monday evening, said
that the Navy would be “no
use to us whatsoever until
they are prepared to use
fora".

Petrona Lashley: her solicitor confirmed convictions for prostitution in 1970s

Prostitute past catches up

with Liverpool’s next mayor

By Kate Alderson

COUNCILLORS in Liverpool
have rallied to the defence of
the woman who is to be their
next Lord Mayor after a local
paper disclosed that she had
convictions for prostitution
and obtaining property by
deception.

Members of Liverpool City
Council said they firmly sup¬
ported Petrona Lashley, the
city’s 53-year-old deputy Lord
Mayor, and praised her work
as a Labour councillor.

Ms Lashley. deputy chair of
the soda! services committee,
who works as an equality
officer at Oxford Street mater¬
nity hospital, had been fined
by magistrates on three occa¬
sions for prostitution between
1973 and 1978, according to
Liverpool’s Daily Post.

Ms Lashley refused to com¬
ment yesterday, referring all
inquiries to her solicitor, Phil¬
ip Canter. He confirmed that

his client had one conviction
for “common prostitution loi¬
tering" and one for a “petty
case of obtaining property by
deception" in the early 1970s.
He said: “I know she had
some problems about 20 years
ago. but they were very much
on the fringe of the criminal
world. I know she has been
extremely dedicated and hard¬
working ever since. It is a
tragedy when someone's mi¬
nor past catches up on them
this way."

Mr Canter added that pros¬
titution was not a criminal
offence, and that the law was
hypocritical on the issue: “It is
a matter for the council to
decide if she will still be Lord
Mayor. But personally 1 think
she will make as good a Lord
Mayor as many people."

Harry Rimroer, leader of
the council and its Labour
group, said Ms Lashley's ap¬

pointment as deputy Lord
Mayor had received unani¬
mous support from the coun-
cfl: “We do not regard 23-year-
old spent convictions as
detrimental to her ability to
cany out the duties of Lord
Mayor."

He said that Ms Lashley ■$
election was based on “our
knowledge and experience of
her capabilities since she was
elected as a Labour member
for Granby in the Toxteth
district in 1991. Whatever
Petrona feels about this issue
being publicised, I want -her
and everybody else to know
that she continues to have our
full support"

Mr Rimmer’s view was
endorsed by Micheal Storey,
leader of the main opposition
Liberal Democrats. He said
his party supported Ms
Lashley as a councillor and as
deputy Lord Mayor.

New rail peace bid by Acas

By Ross Tieman. industrial correspondent

OFFICIALS from the con dila¬
tion service Acas tried to draw
up a settlement formula last
night to end the nine^week rail
dispute after “constructive"
new proposals from the RMT
transport union.

Derek Evans, Acas chief
negotiator, spent two hours
with Rail track chiefs yester¬
day afternoon outlining pro¬
posals from the RMT and
seeking answers to union
queries.

Telephone contacts contin¬
ued into the evening between
Acas officials and the two
sides. But Acas offidals played
down hopes of a deal in time to
avert Friday's planned 24-
hour stoppage. This is a
particularly difficult dispute
where the’two sides are far
apart.” a spokesman said.

The move to break the
deadlock came in response to
a letter last week from Bob
Horton. Railrrack's chairman.
Writing to Jimmy Knapp, the

RMT general secretary. Mr
Horton appeared to suggest
that Railcradc was willing to
be more flexible in search for a
deal.

An RMT spokesman said:
“We have offered them alter¬
natives to reach a settlement
which should satisfy our
members and we think should
satisfy them."

The union appears to be
seeking an up-front payment,
equivalent to around 6 per
cent on basic pay, in addition
to the 25 per cent general
increase allowed within the
Government’s public-sector
pay guidelines. But the union
seems no longer to be insisting
that all of the increase is
consolidated within basic pay
scales.

In return, the RMT appears
willing to offer a package of
concessions in subsequent
talks on productivity and pay
restructuring.

Earlier yesterday, Acas

offirials spent two hours at the
RMTs London headquarters,
exploring options ana draw¬
ing up detailed questions for
the employers. The RMT said
its "constructive suggestions"
were intended to solve the

by the 4.600 signal
staff are now reckoned to have
cost BR about £100 million.
Three more days of stoppages,
planned for Friday, plus Mon¬
day and Tuesday of the follow¬
ing week, would add £30
million to the disruption bill
and increase the long-term
damage to the railway
industry.

A Rail track spokeswoman
said that contacts with Acas
were expected to continue this
morning but cautioned that an
early return to the bargaining
table was unlikely. “We have
still got to go some way — on
both sides,” she said.

Plans derafled. page 25

for £900,000 legacy

Roderick NewalL jailed for life in Jersey for the murder of
his parents, and his brother Marie, who received a six-year
sentence for helping to dispose of their bodies, are fighting
legal moves by their aunt and unde to recover their £900.000
Inheritance. Stephen Newall and Nan Clark have also
appealed for the bodies to be released for burial in Scotland.
Mr Newall and Mrs Clark have started two separate civil
proceedings in Jersey and are seeking to replace their
nephews as beneficiaries of the estate. Orders have been
sought to freeze all inherited assets, bat police believe maefa
of the money has already been swallowed up in legal costs.

Orders put before the court require the brothers to provide
an inventory of their inherited assets, but they have
responded with an- application to the Royal Court to
discharge the interim injunctions and order then: aunt and
unde to pay their costs. The estate indudes the dead couple’s
£85,000 bungalow in Jersey where they were murdered, a
second home in Spain and a yacht. A further £400.000 eame
from a family trust fund whm the brothers' great unde died
six weeks after the Newalls vanished.

£11,000 payout for

staff dressing-down

By a Staff Reporter

A COMPUTER analyst who
resigned from a City bank
after bring publicly subjected
to foul-mouthed abuse from a
senior executive was construc¬
tively dismissed, an industrial
tribunal ruled yesterday.

Adrian Sen, 32. who was
awarded £11.000. said he
could not face his colleagues
after the reprimand by Phillip
Gamble, a financial director
at Credit Lyonnais Rouse. Mr
Sen had left a printer on a
filing cabinet

The tribunal in central
London was told that Mr
Gamble confronted Mr Sen in
the open-plan office and
swore at him. Work stopped
in the office as staff looked on
in amazement Two secretar¬
ies were reduced to tears by
the outburst

Mr Sen said he was

no

shrinking violet”, but the vol¬

ume of the abuse left him “in a
state of shock”. He frit his
position at the bank had
become untenable and re¬
signed half-an-hoiir later after
nine years' service.

Carolyn RotfawelL repre¬
senting the bank, said Mr Sen
had exaggerated the “telling
off". She claimed he had
wanted to resign anyway.

Gordon Rice; the tribunal
chairman, said: “Mr Gamble
did not have the sense to
apologise to him or seek to
make amends.

“Conduct of that sort by an
employer repudiates the con¬
tract and goes to the root of
the employment relationship
between the two persons.”

Mr Gamble had sworn an
affidavit in which he said be
bad given u a severe, well-
merited and public repri¬
mand" to Mr Sen.

favoured by Labour.

Mr Major admitted to Tory
MPs last month that the
blurring of the Toiy message
was one of toe main reasons
wfty tiw: Government was
languishing in toe polls. His
speech will try to remedy that
deficiency by pointing out that
all its polldss — from keeping
taxes and spending as low as
possible, to cutting business
red tape — have toe common
theme of giving people the
maximum control over their
own lives.

"This is a means of demon¬
strating that toe Conservative
Party is about more than tax
cuts with rockets,” said erne
insider. “Bur we don’t need a
lesson in dvics from Mr Blair.
The Prime Minister feds that
Labour is-based on taking
responsibility and control
away from ordinary people
and making them dependent

on the state, down to the-
colour of the front door of their
council house."'

Mr Major will draw on
Conservative Hunkers, nota¬
bly David Willetts, the Tory
MP for Havant and former
think-tank chief, who have

argued that by extolling the
rirtues of. “civic Conserva¬

tism" they ran deny Mr Blair
the moral high ground.

Mr Willetts has argued that
“intrusive -and overweening
government" poses far more of

a threat to British traditions
and institutions than the free
exchange of goods and ser¬
vices. He said in 77te Times in
June that the post-war council

The comic side of death

By Dominic Kennedy

“HERE lies the body of
Jonathan Swift where savage
indignation can tear his heart
no more." The 18th century
satirist who wrote his own
epitaph at St Patrick's Cathe¬
dral, Dublin, set new stan¬
dards for gravestone
composition.

Since Swift's day, epitaphs
have been increasingly amus¬
ing. flaxwf in g or plain odd.
Hte gravestone of file explor¬
er Sir Henry Morton Stanley
in Piibright Surrey, bears the
inscription “Bnla Matari - , a
Congolese name which
means “Breaker of Rocks".

Nigel Rees, author of Epi¬
taphs, says, much humour on
gravestones is unconscious.
“He was literally a father to

Christ which is for the bet¬

The parish council of
Shrivenham. Oxfordshire,
this year forbade a woman to
inscribe “I told you I was ill"
on her husband’s gravestone.
W C Fields, asked to write his
own epitaph, chose to mode

W C Fields. I would rather be
living in Philadelphia."

A THIEF was left dared and
dangling in mid-air after his
anempi to steal cigarettes
from a Filling station wenz
farcically wrong.

Ronald Truman, 31. was
caught between a security
grille and the ceiling, kicking
his legs wildly. Snaresbrook
Crown Court in cast London
was told yesterday. Members
of foe jury laughed as they
were shown a video of the
incident, which cost Truman a
tooth, his freedom and his
dignity.

Allan Goh, for the prosecu¬
tion. said Truman went to the
Shell petrol station in Upper
Clapton Road, east London,
last January’ and asked the
cashier. Ely Oeunda-Na. 36.
fur 500 cigarettes. Truman
then leaned closer and whis¬
pered: "Make that a thousand
and keep some for yourself."

Mr Ogunda-Na became
suspicious and although Tru¬
man’s credit card beat
cleared, he decided to phone
foe card company, Mr Goh
said. Truman became agitated
and asked for the card to be
returned. The cashier refused
and Truman jumped onto foe
counter.

The cashier activity red an
anti-roobery barrier foal shut
off the counter in less than one
second. As Truman jumped
onto fiie counter he was hit by
the barrier, knocking out a
tooth and leaving him hang¬
ing from the ceiling by his
neck.

The grille could be lowered
only after reaching foe ceiling,
the court was told, but because
Truman was blocking its way.
the cashier was unable to
release him.

Mr Ogunda-Na eventually
used a stick to lever the grille
open and release Truman,
who was arrested minutes
later in the street outside.
OfScers found that he had
been using a credit card stolen
from a West End restaurant
earlier that day.

Truman, of Hackney, east
London, admitted attempting
to obtain property by decep¬
tion and handling stolen
goods. Judge Inman ruled that
the jury should return a not-
guilty verdia on a charge of
affray after hearing defence
submissions. ■

Truman will Be sentenced
next month.

The professions all see signs of change for the better as the love affair with Blair gathers pace

Labour’s NHS plans
win mixed reviews
from health workers

ALAN WELLER

By Jeremy Lmjrance
HEALTH SERVICES
CORRESPONDENT

HOLDERS of private medical
insurance are likely to see
steep rises in premiums under
a Labour government which is
committed to clamping down
on private medicine.

The party plans to phase out
pay beds in NHS hospitals,
abolish tax relief on private
medical insurance and impose
a levy on private treatment to
reflect the cost of training
doctors and nurses who later
defect to the private sector.

It will also attempt to re-
stria private work done by
hospital consultants, accord¬
ing to Labour’s health policy
document. The move appears
to be contrary to the party’s
courtship of the private sector
and could alienate the
middle-dass voters whom
Labour is anxious to attract.

However, medical organ¬
isations support Labour's
plans for the NHS which are
framed 10 appeal to staff and
patients who believe the ser¬
vice's ethos has been eroded
by the free enterprise culture
ushered in by the reforms. The
British Medical Association
said Labour's policy was dos-
er to its own than at any time
in the past “Our thinking, like
theirs, is that we have to

reform the reforms.” said a
spokesman.

GP fundholding would be
abolished by Labour but
heal tli authorities and hospi¬
tals would remain separately
manage! retaining the pur¬
chaser-provider split.

Labour plans to do away
with the market in health care
by ending the system of health
authorities contracting with
hospitals to do fixed amounts
of work for a set payment.
Instead, health authorities will
enter into “service agree¬
ments” with hospitals on the
level of service to be provided,
with bonuses paid if they
exceed an agreed minimum
level.

NHS trust hospitals will
remain, albeit with a “friendli¬
er" name, but the end result is
expected to be a health service
in which commercialisation
and competition play no part.

However, critics say the
new system would be little
different Ray Rowden. direc¬

tor of the Institute of Health
Services Management, said;
“It will be a managed market
with a different language.
They are seeking to restore the
public ethos of the service but I
don't think it will look and feel
that different”

Philip Hunt director of the
National Association of
Health Authorities and
Trusts, said that removing
competition could lead to a
less efficient service. The key
question is what are the incen¬
tives in the system to ensure
efficiency,” he said.

Professor David Hunter, di¬
rector of the Nuffield Institute
for Health Services Studies in
Leeds, said it was too soon to
tell whether the NHS reforms
were working. The policy will
appeal to a lot of staff and
patients who think the NHS is
going down the spout But we
should be looking for a good
systematic evaluation of the
present reforms before we
uproot the whole thing again.”

Royal Society in
plea for research

By Nick Nuitall, technology correspondent

Tony Blair, as shadow Home Secretary, won fans among the police

THE Royal Society, Britain’s
oldest scientific body, hopes
that Tony Blair will pledge to
spend more on fundamental
research. Sir Francis Graham-
Smith, vice president of the
Society, said yesterday that the
balance of funding had moved
too Ear towards so-called near
market research which prom¬
ised quick profits.

This was endangering Brit¬
ain’s future by robbing the
nation of the scientific know¬
ledge needed for the next
millennium. “Wealth creation
has been made the prime
objective which is wrong, he
said.” He said the National

Physical Laboratory was a
prime example of the plight of
government research estab¬
lishments.

The way we are going the
laboratory will not be allowed
to do fundamental research at
all.

“If you simply privatise and
make profits out of what it
knows already and fail to fund
basic research then you have
had it,** said Sir Erands.

“All the major break¬
throughs in fields from chem¬
istry to electronics have come
from fundamental research.
The changes at the moment
are throwing babies out with
the bath water." he said.

Sir Francis also hopes that
Mr Blair will tackle the grow¬

ing chaos in university re¬
search. The increasing num¬
ber of students-has not been
matched by an increase in
resources with the result that
top flight scientists spend'
more time teaching and less
on research and innovation.

Professor .Arnold Wolf-
endale of Durham University,
the Astronomer Royal, met the
new Labour leader when Mr
Blair was a boy of six.

“His father was a member
of staff at the university and
Tony Blair was one of the
children who used to come to
Christmas parties," be said.

Professor Wolfendale wants
the Labour leader to make a
dear commitment to interna¬
tional. collaborative projects
in which Britain is a member, r
Dithering over projects, in¬
cluding those with European
Space Agency and Gem. the
atom smashing facility in
Switzerland, have “created a
lot of ill will in the past”.

Dr Peter Briggs, executive
sectary of the British Associ¬
ation for the Advancement of
Stience, believes that Mr Blair
should seriously consider tax
incentives for companies to do
more long-term research in
order to reduce the “short
termism" of many firms. .

.Dr John Mulvey of Save
British Science, the pressure
group, said it would be seek¬
ing a.meeting with the new
Labour leadership to press its
case on behalf of the nation's
researchers.

Ability to listen wins the respect of police Road policy poses problems

By Stewart Te no ler
CRIME CORRESPONDENT

TEN years after the miners' strike left
police and the Labour Party at daggers
drawn, officers see few problems
working with a ftiture Tony Blair
government

Disenchanted and angered by some
of the Government’s reforms, police
leaders have given a qualified welcome
to the new Labour leader. As shadow
Home Secretary, Mr Blair won respect
for his ability to listen and his ideas on
involving the community and local
government in fighting crime echo
police philosophies. But police want to
see the shape of Lab t policy and the
identity of the new shadow Horae
Secretary.

Within the penal reform lobby.

however, there are strong doubts about
Mr Blair. There has been private
criticism of his tough talk on law and
order and there are fears that he will
prove to be no more liberal than
Michael Howard.

A source within the Police Federa¬
tion. representing 120.000 junior offi¬
cers, said; “Everyone is reserving
judgment until we see what pro¬
gramme a Labour government would
embark on.” An officer representing
middle-ranking police said; “There is a
lot of rhetoric and not much
substance."

Police leaders believe the service has
suffered unnecessarily at the hands of
government reformers in recent years

and they complain of insecurity and
broken morale.

They want to see a Labour govern¬
ment helping to maintain links be¬
tween police and the public and halting
centralisation- They believe the Home
Office investigation into reducing
police roles is tantamount to privatisa¬
tion and could leave the police as little
more than a reactive force cut off from
communities.

Chief constables support the impor¬
tance of local government in fighting
crime and believe there is a need for a
more coherent government policy, in
curbing crime. Officers would want
greater funding and more men on the
streets. In the past year, police leaders

have worked with Labour MPs and
peers in fighting legislation, inducting
clauses of the latest Criminal Justice
Bill and the Police and Magistrates'
Courts Act Good relations exist be¬
tween the party and all three groups
representing the police.

Mr Blair has undoubtedly been
aided by a growing disillusionment
with the Conservatives. Kenneth
Clarke angered officers with the intro¬
duction of the Sheehy inquiry into pay
and conditions, which had tittle police
input and suggested radical changes.

Mr Howard has won some support
by watering down the report and lias
pleased the federation by taking a
robust stance on law and order. But he
angered junior and middle ranks with
a sudden announcement of changes
concerning discipline.

ENVIRONMENT

CORRESPONDENT

ENVIRONMENTAL groups
are hoping for a crackdown on
road building, a commitment
to phase out nudear power
and a boost for renewable
energies and energy conserva¬
tion. Organisations such as
Greenpeace want Tony Blair
to act on policy statements
made in the party's recently
launched environmental doc¬
ument,//! TrustforTomorrow.

It promises higher targets
for renewables such as wind
and wood power and a review.
of the road building pro¬
gramme which environmen-'

talists claim.is unsustainable
and darhaging to the air,
wildlife and the landscape.

The document also says the
party will build no more,
nudear power stations such as
the proposed Sizewell C in
Suffolk. ....

Tessa Robertson of Green¬
peace, said: “Whether Mr
Blair represents a better op¬
portunity’ for the environment

Ailp.™ and ip«4u™n,

By Nicholas Wood
and Tim Jones

BRIAN Mawhinney. the
tough and canny Ulsterman
appointed Transport Secre¬
tary in the Cabinet reshuffle,
is unlikely to attract rave
reviews from Bel Mooney
and her fellow protesters
against the big road pro¬
grammes.

In an interview with The
Times, his first since arriving
at Marsham Street Dr
Mawhinney made dear he
would have little patience
with demonstrators who go
on frying to halt the bulldoz¬
ers once the planning process
has been exhausted and toe
Government has given the go-
ahead for a new motorway.

Ms Mooney, toe writer.,
took her battle against toe
new bypass across Solsbury
H3L near Bath, to the last
ditch in May, spending two
weeks in a Mongolian yurt
alongside New Age travellers
in an attempt to roll back the
tarmac tide.

But Dr Mawhinney said
yesterday that once the bal¬
ance of competing arguments
had been weighed and a
verdict reached, he would
want to get on and implement
toe decision.

He also hinted that in the
guerrilla war between the
roads lobby and the environ¬
mentalists, his sympathies lay
more with the construction
gangs than with banner-
waving protesters, although
he can be relied upon to be
punctilious in ensuring that
the authorities play by the
book.

Nor, despite a flurry of
newspaper stories shortly
after his appointment, is he
intent on caving in to the M25
vote and scrapping the Gov¬
ernment’s plans for motorway
tolls.

in short. Dr Mawhinney is
intent on deploying the
shrewd and unsentimental
pragmatism that has taken
him swiftly through the Gov¬
ernment's ranks store John
Major replaced Margaret
Thatcher in 1990.

His door wOl never be
closed and he will go to great
lengths to be seen to hear all
sides of die argument But

MICHAEL POWELL

Mawhinney: “A need fora good road system"

once he has made up his
mind, it will take more than a
few bedraggled protesters to
change it

It is a stance that could
bring Dr Mawhinney into
conflict with his departmental
neighbour, John Cummer,
the green-tinged Environ¬
ment Secretary.

A cautious man who weighs
his words carefully, not least
because he is less than three
weeks into one of the hottest
seats to the Cabinet Dr
Mawhinney confided yester¬
day that what Baroness
Thatcher called the “great car
economy^ is in his blood.

Both his grandfathers were
car dealers and he rather
enjoyed piloting his modest
Rover between London and
his seat in Peterborough. But
just in case Friends of the
Earth were planning to march
on Westminster, he was also
quick to point out that he
represents one of die biggest
railway towns in the country.

He began by enabling the
delicate path he would tread
between the Ms Mooneys on
the one side and the motoring
organisations and road haul¬
age firms on the other.

Just about his first act on
moving into his twelfth floor

office in Marsham Towers,
which are shortly to be demol¬
ished to make way for rede¬
velopment. was to ask his
officials just how much of the
country is covered in ta rmac

“It turns out 12 per cent of
the whole country is covered
by roads. We need to have
some sense of perspective,
and something tike 90 per
cent of all individual travel is
done on roads; Those are two
givens.

Those roads dearly have
an impact both physical and
social on the environment as
indeed do railways.

The counfry has need for a
good road system; one which
allows people to move as
efficiently and as safely as
possible.

“In-the use of toe word
‘good’ I would also want to
take account of environmen¬
tal issues: physical, social, air
pollution.

“I would want, as the road
system develops or is im¬
proved, to allow those people.
who value it to have their say.

I would want to hear from
environmentalists .and the
people who are affeded to the
immediate instance, to-have,
their say.

“On these issues it is impor¬

tant to recognise there are a
variety of people who have
got a legitimate interest to .
express and to argue. We -.
should have systems that aJ- ?
low people to have the free- j
dom and the space to argue T
their case and to be cross )
examined. .. t

“But then, when a decision.»
is made, you get on and j
implement the decision.”

On motorway charging, -
which is viewed with horror i
by many Conservative MPS -
representing Home Counties ■
seats near toe M25, Dr ,
Mawhinney said be was not •
planning any change of policy
and indicated he would like to .
get toe necessary legislation
through by toe end. of this j
Parliament if fellow ministers »

’ agree.

“We need toe .legislative
base to move this forward.... ;
If will be pot before Pariia- ;
ment That [legislation before »
toe next election] would be an .
anti we would aspire to. ?

“Motorway charging is one |
of those areas we are commit- ^
tied to. moving forward. We »
will want to do it in a way that j
ik informed by research; that i
has taken account of toe
practicalities. One would !
.want to bear what a variety of. *
voices say as we actually t
move forward."

After years reconciling a
variety of voices, first in Ulber
- and tom the British Medical
Association. Dr Mawhinney
would seem well equipped for
his biggest challenge yet

If he can manage to placate
both Ms Mooney and Mr
Toad, after the next election
he may well realise his dream
to return to Ulster as the first
native to be Secretary of State ;

the latest assault on the British

Even ^some^erf the most

sor Waller Willett,of Harvard

illusions of minions of people
who had religiously spread

on their high-fibre brown
bread.

Professor Willett argued in
May that fats found in marga¬
rine could be more dangerous
than those in butter. “Many
people who are trying to make
good nutritional deaskms for
themselves and their kids are
being grossly misled.* he
wrote.

in the face of conventional
wisdom, has given a warning
about over-indulgence in vege¬
tables because of fears over

sdFeridem on British super¬
market shelves, was contra¬
dicted by the notorious
Caerphilly research that sug¬
gested that middle-aged men

less inclined to heart disease.
The report produced such an
outcry that h was eventually
withdrawn.

Many people still befieve
that bread, pasta and potatoes
are unhealthy. The reverse is
the opposite, according to toe
Institute of Food Research. Dr
David Mda. from the insti-'
turn, said: “Itis an old-
fashioned view that starchy
foods are fattening and there¬
fore unhealthy. They are a
source of fibre and help to
break down fats. Eat plenty of
bread. 1 *

But white or brown? Recent
research has argued toe bene¬
fits of white bread, which is
heresy to devout members of
toe wholemeal brigade. High-
fat foods, which were recom¬
mended in the 1930s as the

A low-fat diet could lead to
something worse. A study of
25,000 men in toe United
States showed that those who
switched to low fats were more
likely to die violent deaths.

Vegetarians seem to be win¬
ning toe propaganda battle
with the meat industry. A 13-
year investigation by toe Ox¬
ford Vegetarian Study showed
that meat-eaters were twice as

Bkdy to die from heart dis¬
ease. The meat industry regu¬
larly publicises its own
scientific fadings to cmndaer

on the assumption of alcohol
and tobacco.

An American research team
claims that red wine could cut

with hardening of the arteries.

Modem message recalls austere wartime rationing

By Michael Dynes

WHITEHALL CORRESPONDENT

THE diet recommended hy govern¬
ment advisers is reminiscent of what
pepple were eating tinder wartime
rationing.

The general diet under rat tenin g
during arid immediately after toe
war is thought to have been healthier
than that of most people today.

The emphasis was on fruit and
vegetables, although oranges were
scarce and; hamam u c legendary.
Treats- such as sweets: were strictiy
ratkateffl EJuring toe war. baric foods

such as sugar, meat, fats, tea and
cheese were directly rationed. Other
foods were governed by a points
system. Bread was rationed between
1946 and 1951. with consumption
below that recommended today.

The new guidelines are understood
to recommend a 50 per cent reduction
in the average intake of cheese, soft
drinks, cakes and biscuits, and a 20
per cent cut in sugar and jam. They
call for a 50 per cent reduction in toe
salt used fay bakers in bread and a
CTHiflnr ryjt fn the amount used in
processed meats.

-Tbe guidelines go beyond the

previous broad recommendations on
the need, for example, to reduce tot
intake and eat more vegetables and
fruit Industry representatives fear
there has been a shift towards tighter
supervision.

The guidelines, contained in a
restricted circulation paper, have
been drawn up by the Cardiovascu¬
lar Review Group, one of toe writing
parties set up by the Health Depart¬
ment's Committee on Medical As¬
pects of Food Policy (Coma). Its
specific recommendations include
increasing the daDy intake of vegeta¬
bles-from two to four portions a day:

two pieces of fruit instead of one and
a half; two portions of fish a week
instead of one and a half: and three
egg-sized potatoes a day instead of
two suggested at present.

The Government has produced a
series of pamphlets on healthy eating
in recent years designed to help to
reduce the incidence of heart disease,
obesity, strokes and cancers.

Although Coma’s work has been
suported by food and drink manufac¬
turers. tbe new guidelines have led to
deterioration of relations between
Whitehall and the food and drink
industry. During a recent meeting

between Baroness Cumber lege, the
health minister, and representatives
of leading food manufacturers, the
executives asked the civil servants to
leave the room so they could express
their views directly.

Michael Baxendine, a health advis¬
er for United Biscuits, yesterday said
the new government guidelines “mix
non-existent science with facts.
Basically. I don’t believe they will do
anything to help people select a good

A CAR that runs as frugally as

at 150mph is being developed
by Aston Martin.

today that it wants to build a

badge; a luxurious, high-tech
car that would make it toe

Aston’s chairman, believes it
could be on sale in four years.

Aston Martin showed a
concept version on the new
Lagonda. called toe Vignale,
at last year's Geneva Motor
Show to test public reaction.
Interest particularly in Amer¬
ica, has convinced Mr
. Oldfidd to go ahead, provide
’Ping it will make a profit

“We are developing the
plan for the Vignale because
we are convinced we need a

four-door, four-seater saloon
as port of our range,’* Mr
Oldfield said.

The \fignale will have a

central computer console con¬

have picnic tables as well as
individual televisions and air

EXECUTIVES employed by a
Welsh health quango de¬
fended their record yesterday
after coming under attack
from tite district auditor for
the number of foreign trips
they had taken at taxpayers*
expense.

tn a tireless quest to im¬
prove public well being, senior
staff with the Health Promo¬
tion Authority for Wales, were
apparently prepared to leave
no continent unvisited with
trips to Jamaica, the Cayman
Islands. Barbados, Canberra.
Miami , Sydney. Vienna,
Rome and Athens.

- On occasions, a number of
the quango’s most senior staff
were in the air siraul-
taneousty-

After the District Audit Ser¬
vice detailed more than 100
trips taken by H employees,
including 33 tw its chief execu¬
tive and 19 by a colleague,
John Davies, toe chairman of
toe authority, rqecred sugges¬
tions that there was any great
pleasure attached to intemar
tionaltraveL

“Most people who have to
go overseas on business con¬
sider it an absolute pain in the
neck. To suggest that overseas
visits are some sort of a
jamboree is to distort tbe
situation completely.

“The fact is that such visits
bring direct benefit to the
I people of Wales in that they
widen the horizons of the

people here and generally
sustain the professionalism of
the authority.”

• The district auditor took a
rather different view. "There
are a number of overseas trips
where tile exact reason for
attendance has not been estab¬
lished and in one instance, in
file case of the chief executive’s
trip to Brazil, where the visit
appears to have been under¬
taken for purely personal rea¬
sons,” the report said.

Professor John Catibrd. the
quango's former chief execu¬
tive. resigned earlier this year
after admitting that he had a
brief liaison with an Italian
colleague during a visit to
Rome. The auditors report
said that there was no appar¬
ent reason for toe trip.

After an investigation, Gor¬
don MacDonald, head of pro¬
fessional development with
the quango, was told his
contract would not be re¬
newed. Mr MacDonald is
listed as having taken 19
overseas trips, taking in Jar
maica, Copenhagen, Brussels.
Germany and Budapest.

The auditors report said
that in a number of cases the
direct benefit to the work of the
authority is unclear.

Mr MacDonald said he was
devastated that the report had
been published without dis¬
cussion. “I consider I have
been a loyal and hardworking
officer over fee past six years.”

Grouse guns keep
their powder dry

By Alan Hampton

THE Purdeys are oiled and
the tweeds laid ciul After last
year’s exceedingly inglorious
twelfth, marred by bad wea¬
ther, rampant disease and the
activities of protesters, pros¬
pects for the opening of the
grouse season on Friday look
considerably brighter.

But there will still be many a
disappointed sportsman un¬
able to tag a place on the
moors for love or money. After
the disastrous 1993 season,
one of the worst in memory,
landowners will be rationing
their shoots to allow stocks of
Lagopus scoticus, ever a frail
and tickle species, to recover
fully. Reports from the moors
suggest a healthy breeding
season, helped by a mild
spring and relative freedom
from the strongylosis worm, a
parasite that wreaks havoc in
the grouse population.

Sporting agents report a
very strong demand this year
but little chance of it being
fully satisfied. William Jack-
son, of the Edinburgh office of
Knight. Frank and Rutley,
which represents a number of
Scottish estates, said yesterday
that many estates were letting

year

futun

on a very modest scale this
to build up stocks for
iture seasons. “There is a
massive demand but owners
are being very prudent," he
said.

Those fortunate enough to
secure a place at die butts can
expect to pay an average of E70
a brace, much the same as last
year. A spokesman for die
British Association for Shoot¬
ing and Conservation said
most landowners had avoided
the temptation to raise prices
to make up for last year's
losses. “Owners of moors ex¬
pect bad years; they take a
long-term view and will hope
to recoup their losses next
year, when stocks should have
returned to normal," he said.

Last year’s losses were sub¬
stantial. Earl Peel, owner of
Gunnerside Moor in Nath
Yorkshire, lost 90 per cent of
his birds through an infesta¬
tion of strongylosis worm and
his moor is up for sale, as area
number of others owned by
Lloyd's names who are faring
financial ruin for other rea¬
sons. Shooting can easily earn
an estate £ 10,000 a day but
when there is no letting it still

has to be maintained and
gamekeepers paid.

Some moors saw no shoot¬
ing at all last season, either
because of the parasite infesta¬
tion in northern England or
late snows in Scotland, both of
which wiped out huge num¬
bers of young birds.

The start of this years
season is likely to be a sub¬
dued affair on many moors,
with owners delaying die
sport by up to two weeks. Part
of the reason is to allow second
broods to mature but equally
important is a desire to avoid
saboteurs, often roaming in
large, well-organised groups
and equipped with radios,
who last year disrupted sev¬
eral shoots on the opening
day.

“If they cause their disrup¬
tions on die twelfth, they gel
ail the media attention. But a
couple of weeks later, newspa¬
pers and television have lost
interest in the subject," one
shooting expert said, adding
that the sport injected £600
million a year into the econo¬
my. much of it to rural areas,
and supported 2300 full-time
jobs in Scotland alone.

From Roger Boyes jn bonn

BONN, determined to flex its
musdes as president of the
European Union, is. tiding to
end the dcmrinance of French
and English and upgrade the
status of German in Brussels.

A plaintive memorandum
from-the Foreign Ministry
yesterday set out the back¬
ground of the demand for
Gerawn to be treated equally
whh English and French. "In
member states (rf the EU,
German is now in third place

In 1991 Helmut Kohl, the
German Chancellor.- asked
Jacques Deiors, President of
tite European Commission, to
extend the use of German as
one of the European Commu¬
nity’s working languages, in
the idiom of internal debate, in
memorandums and earhr le¬
gal drafts and in deal-making.
German is by right one of the
nine official European Union
languages ami tectoticaliy also
ranks as a working language,
although its use is rare.

The Chancellor's initiative
tut a nerve; it was widely
assumed that Germany was
trying to throw its weight
around after unification. The
vision loomed of Eurocrats
having to dick their heels, eat
bratwurst and leave then-
verbs dangling awkwardly.
There was quite enough Angst
in' Europe about unification
without the prospect of a
linguistic invasion. The ques-

that has been raging since the
collapse of the Hcay Roman
Empire. For that matter.
Spanish is die third most

world after Chinese and
fish, with 40 million
speakers in the EU and 300
million in Latin America.

Yet linguists concede that
the conflict is about to be

French researcher, says The
linguistic situation in Central
and Eastern Europe is now

Dr Hagege gives Fkehch a

Reverse for
Berlusconi
over TV
campaign

From Philip Willan
IN ROME

THE government of Silvio
Berlusconi was smarting yes¬
terday over the latest in a
string of humiliating reverses
that has left his administra¬
tion looking badly accident-
prone at the end of its first
three months in office.

The setback came when
Giuseppe SamanieUo. the
broadcasting Ombudsman,
ruled that an advertising cam¬
paign on state television to tell
the public of government ac¬
tivity was not socially useful
and should be withdrawn.

Signor Berlusconi had
ordered the campaign because
he fell he was not getting fair
treatment from most of the
nationai press. The advertise¬
ments describe legislation
passed by the government and
show the laws being rubber-
stamped with the word
“Done". Each advertisement
is accompanied by the slogan:
"Facts which citizens should
know to exercise their rights."

The campaign provoked
protests from opposition par¬
ties which said the advertise¬
ments were propaganda.

Promise of moderation persuades Milosevic to sanction loss of conqueredlands

Russian diplomacy
shatters dream

of Greater Serbia

By Eve-Ann Prentice

DIPLOMATIC CORRESPONDENT

and Richard Beeston

IN MOSCOW

RUSSIA has persuaded Presi¬
dent Milosevic of Serbia to
abandon his dream of a Great¬
er Serbia, according to sources
close to the government m
Moscow.

in exchange, Russia has
promised to try to stave off
new sanctions against the
rump Yugoslavia and has won
a crucial change to the inter¬
national peace plan for Bos-
nia-Herzegovina.

The Serbian strongman,
widely seen as responsible for
fomenting the war in Bosnia,
has agreed to back the peace
plan which gives the Bosnian
Serbs less territory than Mr
Milosevic needed for his
grander ambitions, the
sources said. In so doing,
though, he has had to turn
against the Bosnian Serb lead¬
ership — whose warmonger¬
ing he encouraged but which
is now beyond his control.

A constant stream of Rus¬
sian diplomats and military
and political officials has
spent weeks visiting Mr Milo¬
sevic in Belgrade formulating
a plan acceptable to both
Belgrade and Western
governments.

The turning point for Mr
Milosevic is believed to have
come when Russia persuaded
the rest of the Contact Group
negotiators to allow Bosnian
Serbs to form a confederation
with Serbia, as and when a
peace deal is signed. “This is a
golden opportunity for him.
For the first time, the self-
determination of the Bosnian
Serbs will be recognised.-' a
Russian source said.

However. Bosnian Serb

SERBIAN

POKER

Radovan Karadzic and Slobodan Milosevic
as seen by Jean of-Der Standard, Vienna

leaders, especially Radovan
Karadzic and General Ratko
Mladic, the military chief,
refuse to contemplate giving
up large tracts of land they
have conquered, as required
under the peace plan. Mr
Milosevic, therefore, has
launched a campaign to dis¬
credit Dr Karadzic, apparent¬
ly in the hope that the more
moderate Bosnian Serbs will
overthrow him and accept the
peace plan.

"Milosevic has given up the
idea of Greater Serbia as a
menacing state — but he still
wants links with the Serbs in
Bosnia and Croatia." one
source said.

Contact Group Foreign
Ministers from Britain,
France, Germany. America
and Russia announced ten
days ago that a draft resolu¬
tion proposing tough new
sanctions against Serbia
would be put before the Uni¬
ted Nations Security Council
“probably within a week"

unless the Bosnian Serbs ac¬
cepted the peace plan.

Moscow is believed to have
delayed the resolution and is
seeking a clause in the draft
that would prevent new sanc¬
tions for up to three months to
give the Belgrade regime a
chance to prove that it is
serious in cu ttin g off the
Bosnian Serbs.

In a key sign that Russia has
softened America’s attitude to
Belgrade. Warren Christo¬
pher, the Secretary of State,
said yesterday that existing
sanctions against Serbia could
be eared if Mr Milosevic
continues to halt aid and
supplies to Bosnian Serbs.

“It appears Milosevic is
carrying out the intention he
publicly expressed by actions

on die ground... if the border

was effectively closed and if
the Bosnian Serbs seem to be
deprived of important aid and
warmaking materiel, dearly
there then would be a case for
easing off the sanctions." Mr
Christopher said.

Moscow. meanwhile, has
suspended all offidal contact
with the Bosnian Serbs in a
move to isolate further their
beleaguered leadership in
Pale and force it to accept the
peace plan, which would give
the Bosnian Serbs 49 per cent
of territory and the Muslim-
Croat federation 51 per cent

The Bosnian Serbs now
control 70 per cent of the
republic. The Muslim-led gov¬
ernment forces have made
steady gains in eastern Bosnia
in recent weeks, especially
around Vares, Posavina and
Olovo.

Russia's decision to end
official contacts with the Bos¬
nian Serbs has not been
announced officially, but has
been widely circulated in the
Russian press.

Moscow’s position bec ame
dear over the weekend when

the Foreign Ministry said that
the Serbs had only themselves
to blame for Nate's air attack
near Sarajevo on Friday. “It is
deplorable that the Series
themselves gave grounds for
this turn of events, acting
recently, it would seem, on the
principle the worse tilings get
the better for us’," an official
said.

The language was in con¬
trast to the fast time Nato
aircraft went into action, in
Gorazde earlier this year,
which resulted in a sharp
exchange between President

Yeltsin and President Clinton

because Moscow had not been
consulted' before the air
strikes.

Hie change in Russian atti¬
tude can be attributed largely
to the efforts of Vztali Churkin.
Deputy Foreign Minister and
President Yeltsin’s special en-
vqy to the former Yugoslavia.

In April, he shocked the
Bosnian Serbs by publicly ac¬
cusing Dr Karadzic, their
leader, of “duplicity". Since
then he has advocated a policy
of maintaining the strong
historical ties that the Rus¬

sians have with Serbia and
President Milosevic, while
also droppi n g support for the
. Bosnian Serbs, whom he has

accured of “falling iff with the

madness of war".

The pragmatism being dis¬
played in Moscow migh t part¬
ly be due to a realisation
among Russians that after
generations of supporting the
Serbs in their wars against the
Turks, the . Austro-Hungar¬
ians and more recently Croats
and Muslims, they have little
to show for thdr loyalty.

Winnie Mandela regrets her
‘failure to protect Stompie’

From Ray Kennedy in Johannesburg

WINNIE Mandela said yes¬
terday her greatest regret was
that she had failed to protect
Stompie Moeketsi. the young
black activist who was mur¬
dered after being kidnapped
and held at her home.

But she told parliament in
Cape Town that her suspend¬
ed sentence of six years' im¬
prisonment for kidnapping
and being party to an assault

— reduced to a fine on appeal

— had been imposed by “the
apartheid court ... which
studiously ignored the blade
perspective, black culture,
black values and judged ev¬
eryone by white standards."

Stompie and other youths
were abducted from a Meth¬
odist manse in Soweto in
December 1989, after claims
that they were being sexually
abused there, and taken to
1 Mrs Mandela's home in the
township where they were
questioned and beaten up.

Stompie, aged 14. was later
found dead in a ditch and
Jerry Richardson, the “coach"
of Mrs Mandela's team of
bodyguards, known as the
Mandela United Football
Club, was sentenced to death
for murder.

Mrs Mandela, Deputy Min¬
ister of Arts. Culture, Science
and Technology and the es¬
tranged wife of President
Mandela, has faced constant
jibes about the affair from
National Party MPs since
entering parliament- She said
yesterday: “My deepest regret
is that I failed Stompie. that I
was unable to protect him
from the anarchy of those
times and that he was taken
from my house and killed.”
She added: “I lived in the
terror of those times and was
repeatedly burnt by its fires. I
did not flinch, I did not run
away... And there are men in
this chamber who literally

fiddled and mounted the steps
of power while our townships
burned and today dare to
question my membership of
this august house.”

Mrs Mandela indicated that
Chris Hani. the former leader
of the South African Commu¬
nist Party who was assassinat¬
ed last year, and Oliver
Tam bo. the late African Nat¬
ional Congress president, had
been aware of and supported
the plan to abduct the youths.

She said: "I miss my men¬
tors, Oliver Tam bo and Chris
Hani. When a report was
made to me that there were
youths who were being sexu¬
ally abused I unhesitatingly
fell in with the plans to rescue
than and give them refuge in
my house. And for that I was
convicted for kidnapping,”

At her trial, Mr Justice
Michael Stegmann said Mrs
Mandela had shown no mercy
to her victims.

Dawn Cabinet tackles crime wave

Calls

40j

By Ray Kennedy

TOUGH measures to counter soaring
crime in South Africa, where more than
150 policemen have been murdered so far
this year, are expected soon as a result of
action by President Mandela.

Mr Mandela called the Cabinet to his
Pretoria residence for a 5am meeting a
few days ago and demanded to know
what they were doing about crime. He is
habitually an early riser, but the pre¬
dawn summons on an ky winter's
morning surprised even those Cabinet
colleagues who shared his years of
imprisonment

Mr Mandela also made it dear he is
unhappy about the wave of industrial
unrest Although he has emphasised that
workers have the right to strike, he is
concerned at the effect strikes are having

on foreign investment vital to fund the
African National Congress's programme
of reconstruction and development.

A climate of dissatisfaction has been
growing over the failure so far of the
government of national unity to live up to
its preelection promises. Next week it wifi
have been in power for 100 days and

critical analysis is being made not only by

potential investors but by voters.

Police said yesterday that they have
identified areas where crime is rampant
and where their limited resources should
be intensively deployed. This was a
response to orders from Sydney
Mufamadi. the Minister of Safety and
Security, after a weekend meeting which
also involved Mr Mandela-

Three policemen, all of them off-duty,
were murdered at the weekend and Mr
Mufamadi said that the attorney-generals

of South Africa's nine provinces would be
asked “to prosecute the perpetrators of
these crimes with the utmost vigour". The
implication was that the climate of
amnesty that followed the ANCs election
victory is being reconsidered.

A 19-year-old woman was killed and a
friend wounded in an attack on an
isolated form near Potchefetroom, south¬
west of Johannesburg, police reported.

The week-long strike by 1ZOOO mem¬
bers of the National Union of Metalwork¬
ers which has brought the car industry to
a standstill continued, and prospects for
an early settlement are dim.

hero's reception in Namibia yesterday on

CIA forced

FRANCE, under pressure
from the United Nations to
retain troops in Rwanda to
forestall an exodus of terrified
civilians, still plans to pull
them out on schedule by
August 22, French military
a diplomatic sources said
yesterday.

UN relief officials have
pleaded for the French to stay,
warning that if the troops
withdraw on time, hundreds
of thousands of Rwandans
could flee across the border,
adding to the already intoler¬
able burden on refugee camps.
In a further worrying dev¬
elopment there are fears of an
outbreak of typhus among
refugees and that organised
killings are being carried out
in camps surrounding Goma
as part of a systematic
campign of intimidation to
persuade Rwandans not to
return home, a spokesman for
the United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees
(UNHCR) saidyesteniay.

Firm evidence pointing to
an organised campaign has
emerged for the first time in
Kibumba camp. 18 miles
north of Goma. following the
killing on Monday of a male
refugee by. three uniformed
soldiers- from the former
Rwandan army. Eyewitnesses
told the UNHCR that a man
who was trying to persuade
people to return to Rwanda
was accu se d of bring a sup¬
porter of foe Tutsi-led Rwan¬
dan Patriotic Front and
murdered.

Rosemary Hannan, a nurse
with the Irish aid agency
Goal, said she saw a man
dragged to the roadside ty.a
soldier where he was joined by

three others who set about
dubbing the victim to death.
“They appeared from nowhere
and acted quickly,” she said.
The brutality of the attack
reminded me of greyhounds
tearing at a hare."

Aid workers have long sus¬
pected that there is a systemat¬
ic campaign of killing and
intimidation ro the camps.
Ray Wilkinson a UNHCR
spokesman, said the aitar-Vs
are probably orchestrated by
the refugee leaders in Goma.

“I cannot directly link the
killings to refugee leaders but
all I can say isthar there are
people at the top who appear
to be giving orders.” he said.

Yesterday the UNHCR dis¬
closed that 30 people in
Magunga camp northwest of
Goma had contracted a myste¬
rious fever whichwas suspect¬
ed to be typhus. They were

awaiting the results of tests in
France which are expected in

tma to expel Iran envoys over anti-Jewish blast

FkOM David adams in Miami and MichaelTheodoulou in mcosia

Jewish offices bombed in SlrauAn«^mo^

ARGENTINA -sad yesterday h
would expel Iranian oiplomffls in*
.wived in a bomb attack on a Jewish
osraminity centre Iks month, but
indkafed that it would not sever
diplomatic relations wfth Iran for
fear of reprisals.

The judge investigating the blast
has obtained evidence Imk&ig Iran¬
ian diplomats to die bombing of die
Argentine-Jewish Mutual Aid Asso-
ciaiian on July 18 which Hied nearly
100 people. Americas and Israeli
.officials helping in the investigatkai
believe die Iranian govern m ent and
a rafical.wing of HoboUah. the
Lebanon-based. Iranian-backed
group, were responsible
recent bombings of Jewish
in London as well as in
Argentina. Iran and Hezbollah dray
involvement.

Guido Di Telia, the Argentme
Foreign Minister, raid after a Cabi¬
net me et in g Afar die Iranian diplo¬
mats would be asked J» leave ifthe

case against them was proved. "That
does nor mean diplomatic relations
would be broken — it implies a
problem in the relationship, not an
interruption." he said. Iran is one of
Argentina* main trading partners.

Suspicion of Iranian government
involvement is partly based on the
testimony of Monousheh Moat-,
amer. an Iranian dissident who (fed
with his family io Venezuela earlier
this year.

On July M die Venezuelan govern¬
ment expelled four Iranian diplo¬
mats for kidnapping Mr Moatemer
and five family members and hold¬
ing them at a Caracas hotel. When
Seyyed Reza Zargarbashi, the Iran¬
ian Ambassador, protested, he was
alsoexpeUed-

Mr Moatemer identified four
Iranian diplomats in Buenos Aires
asihe planners of the bombing. "The
testimony he gave me was of great
importance to shed light on the
facts." said Judge Juan Jose

GaJeano, who flew to Cc rants to
interview Mr Moatemer las: month.
The dissident also reportedly knew
of a plan to bomb the ‘ Israel:
Embassy in Lender., according to
President Menem's office. British
officials say they received no infor¬
mation before the Lender, bombing
on July 26 which w ounded 13 people.

The Iranian Embassy in Buenos
Aires said Mr Moatemer is a former
salesman who lef: Iran to emigrate
to America and is trying io carriage
relations between Iran and Argenti¬
na with false statements.

Clarin. the Argentine newspaper,
has published excerpts from a
document which i: claims is a South
American intelligence report on
links between Iranian diplomats ir.
Caracas and underground cells of
Hezbollah tr.rougout the region.
Iranian diplomats provided terror¬
ists with “logistical support, arms
and explosives, urine the diplomatic
pouch for such ends." said the

document- "In some cases, the
explosives were delivered to the
terrorists through Shia communities
living in the south of Brazil or in
Uruguay." it said.

Western intelligence agencies
have long known that Iranian
embassies and consulates around
the world provide diplomatic cover,
material support and logistical as¬
sistance to Iran’s secret services.

The official believed to be behind
the murder of Iranian dissidents
abroad is AJi FaJIahiyan, 45. Iran’s
Intelligence Minister, who in an
interview on Iranian television in
1992 boasted of his organisation’s
success in hunting down Tehran’s
opponents. According to intelligence
soirees. Iran uses agents of
Hojatoleslam Faflahiyan’s Ministry
for Intelligence and Security, known
as Veiak, to assassinate Iranian
dissidents. But Tehran has tried to
distance itself from attacks against
Jewish and Western targets by using

He 2 boUah. not Vevak. The militant
group guided the organisations that
kidnapped more than 40Westerners
in Lebanon. Iran provided a safe ]
haven for the leading kidnappers. \
including Imad Mughniyeh, leader
of the Islamic Jihad group which
kidnapped Terry Waite. John Mc¬
Carthy and Brian Keenan.
Hqj azoles lam Mughniyeh now
heads Hezbollah’s foreign opera¬
tions department and is suspected
by some Western sources of plan¬
ning the bombings in London and
Argentina.

When he first moved to Iran in the
late 19S0s, he was reportedly kepi on
a tight hash by President Rafsan-
jani. who hoped better relations with
the West would improve Iran’s
economy. But Hojatoleslam Raf-
sanjani’s star has waned along with
Iran’s worsening economy, while his
radical opponents led by Ali
Khamenei, the spiritual leader, have
gained in strength.

US hails
progress
in Korea
dispute

From Tom Rhodes

IN WASHINGTON

AMERICAN negotiators in
Geneva are expected today to
press North Korea on how
much money is needed to end
the long-standing dispute over
nuclear weapons.

The North Koreans agreed
on Monday night to freeze
their present system of graph¬
ite mid ear reactors and move
to a light-water sysrem, as
urged by Washington.

Kang Sok Ju. North Korean
Deputy Foreign Minister, has
said his country is only willing
to change reactors if the
expensive light-water system
is provided and "proper and
appropriate compensation"
given for freezing the building
of other graphite reactors.

US officials are concerned
that they may not find public
support if such compensation
is too high and also fear that
the money could be used to
produce further plutonium for
nuclear arms.

Nevertheless, the agree¬
ment in principle by Pyong¬
yang has been viewed as a
breakthrough in Washington,
not least as the North Koreans^
agreed to dispose of the 8.000
spent fuel rods at the heart of
the dispute in a way that “will
certainly ease the concerns of
the international community'¬
ll was reported in Seoul that
the rods, believed to contain
enough plutonium for four to
five nuclear weapons, would
be buried in concrete.

The White House welcomed
the announcement as the first
sign of a rapprochement be¬
tween the two countries since
Kim □ Sung died last month
and his sot. Kim Jong II.
succeeded to the presidency.

Japan calls
Disney lion
a copycat

New York: The Walt Disney
Co m p any is being accused of
copying a Japanese cartoon
in its hit film The Lion King
(Ben Marintyre writes).

This week 200 Japanese
cartoonists wrote to Disney
pointing oat similarities be¬
tween The Lion King and
Kimba, the White Lion, a
cartoon from the 1960s. In
both stories lion princes are
orphaned and lose their
esowns to an evfl adult. The
good lions in both versions
are helped by a wise baboon
and a talkative bird.

A spokesman for Disney
insisted that the film is an
-original work.

expert at the Stare Commission for
Restructuring Economic Systems, said
China has to feed almost a quarter of
the world’s population, from one-
fifteenth part nf its arable land surface.
That area is diminishing, as rural land
is used for budding factories and

homes, "be said. Corrupt officials are
making arable land available for other
purposes — at a price. “Some people
are getting rich in the rural real-estate
business," Mr Zhang added.

Another problem for China’s future
stability, he says, is the gap between
tiie prosperous southeastern coastal
areas, the so-called "Gold Coast", and
the la ggin g southwest and northwest
"This could lead to bistability which in
the end could have an effect beyond
China’s tenters," he said. China’s

Mr Zhang »id, but they will take “40
or 50 years, even longer," to resolve.

If you were

J ill Saward, Merlyn Nuttall
and Muriel Harvey were all
ordinary, bright, popular
women with big hopes and mun-
done concerns. Then they were
raped. Today they are just as
bright and popular but their lives
have been indelibly twisted by
their ordeals and the aftermath.

The difference between these
three women and most of the 3,000
or so women reporting rape each
year is that they have chosen to
speak about their experiences and
to put a face to their vidimhood.
“Rather than just being hidden
behind blacked-out pictures and
stories, you can make yourself a
real person." says Ms Saward, one
of the three victims of the Ealing
vicarage attack eight years ago. “It
gives victims the truth about what
rape is really like." When a rape is
shrouded in secrecy its impact is
anaesthetised; the public may not
be aware of the brutality involved.

There is no need for any woman
to speak out The Sexual Offences
{Amendment) Act the result of
years of feminist pressure, gives

raped, would you go public? Julia Llewellyn Smith on the women who threw off the legal veil of anonymity

Victims who dare to show their face

rape victims anonymity. To give
the women’s names, campaigners
said, would be to violate than
twice over and discourage them
from reporting attacks to the
police.

But rather than hide away, these
three women have become public
figures. They have sat on die sofa
with daytime television's Richard
and Judy, written books and learnt
which side to present to the
camera. Wasn’t this cashing in. a
House of Commons committee on
privacy asked Ms Saward, after
she sold her story to The Sunt
“Well," she replied, “they used roe,
so I’ve used them." The Sun had
set the ball rolling by publishing a
photograph of Ms Saward. with a
token line across her eyes. “I was
public right from that moment."
she says.

Ms Saward’s life has since re¬
volved around helping other rape

victims, in any way she can. She
speaks frankly, whenever she
must, about the night when, aged
21 , she was multiply raped, and
her father and boyfriend were
brutally beaten. She lobbies MPs
about the treatment of rape vic¬
tims. gives counselling and works
to raise funds for Hurt (Help
Untwist Rape Trauma), an organi¬
sation die has set up.

“Most of us who have gone
public want victims to be under¬
stood better and to be given a
better deal in the tong term.” she
says. “It sounds gushy, but it gives
me a sense of purpose. I never had
a specific ambition, other than to
be a mum." Last month she gave
birto to a son. Myles.

Her main concern is for others;
any personal benefit is incidental.
“If the day comes, when I’m not
needed any more, I’D stop."

These women are motivated by

Murid Harvey: bravery

a desire to make some good out of
evil, to find some sense in a
senseless humiliation. Merlyn
Nuttall. 29, was formerly known
as Miss X. Two years ago, when
Miss Nuttall was on her way to
work, Anthony Ferrira, a crack
addict, bundled her off a south
London street at knifepoint, raped

her, a t tacked her with a broken
bottle, set her on-fire and left her
for dead in a burning squat
Ferrira was sentenced to 20 years;
Miss Nuttall needed 100 stiches
and plastic surgery.

Now Miss Nuttall has aban¬
doned her job as a fashion buyer to
campaign for victims of violence
and write a book-.about the
trauma. She has addressed the
Home Affairs Com mi ttee at the
Commons and will speak at tins
autumn’s Tory party conference.

Photographs of Miss Nuttall
show a smart attractive woman.'
who could be anyone’s sister or
friend. "I want people to have
someone to relate to who looks
well and is getting on with her
life," she says.

Murid Harvey, a church war¬
den and former magistrate, was
raped on Christmas Day. 1992,
when she was returning from mid¬

night mass in Ludlow, Shropshire
Within days. Mrs Harvey, 67, had
appeared in person on Crmte-
wotch UK in an attempt to catch
her attacker. Her bravery was
universally hailed and she is now
a familiar figure on the interview

circuit “Just because a woman has

been raped," she says, “does hot
mean that she should buiy herself
in a hole in the ground.”

n any case, anonymity, she
felt, was pointless, as everyone
in her town knew who she was
any way. She claims, to have felt,
little shock after the crime, saying
she found it worse to be burgled,
but admits that her age and
experience helped her to cope. She
was more upset by the shock
waves that ran through her for¬
merly safe town. Despite her
efforts, the attacker was not
caught On Monday, police an-

I

nounced that DNA fingerprinting
techniques showed that Mrs Har¬
vey's rapist was also the man who
killed Sandra Parkinson, a 22-
y ear-old chambermaid, in Sab
combe last month.

A victim must bear in mind that
spea kin g out puts heir at further-
risk. “Many victims receive death
threats," says Miss Saward.
“There’s no way of knowing how
seriously they should be taken."
Judy, who rebuses to give her sur¬
name but has been photographed,
told a stunned Scottish Conserv¬
ative conference last year how she
had been beaten, throttled and sex¬
ually assaulted. She has since had
to leave her home, for fear of
further attack.

The victims are fighting back,
yet the prejudice against the raped
remains; women who speak out
are nearly, all victims of horrific,
random violence, which each was
powerless to prevent We might
not feel so sympathetic if the rapist
had been someone they knew - , or if
they had been dressed Like Jodie

A short walk
in the steps of
Saint Jackie

Even the former First Lady's grocer’s has become an
object of veneration in New York, says Kate Muir

CARLGUSSMAN

I n a way it is a tribute to
the staying power of
Jackie Kennedy Onassis
that 20 to 30 people turn
out every weekend to walk the
pavements where she once
walked, to stare up at her
former apartment and to have
the unparalleled joy of visiting
her grocer, bank, florist ana
favourite secondhand clothes
shop.

After “a suitable period of
mourning", a tour of the
sidewalks of New York made a
comeback last week, its name
changed from A Tour Called
Jackie to A Tribute to Jadde —
A Memorial Tour.

The new two-hour walk
covers much the same ground
as the old — Jackie's home
patch on tile Upper East Side
near Central Park, but the
tone has gone from merely
gossipy to sombre. The great
lady has gone but her imprint
remains on the dty she loved
and called home," intones
Sam Stafford, the tour’s cre¬
ator and guide.

The blurb on Mr Stafford’s
leaflets is grandiose for what
turns out to be a fairly domes¬
tic safari. “Follow in her
footsteps to the scenes of the
triumphs and tragedies of
America’s most beloved First
Lady. Pay tribute to the
woman who captured our
hearts and fascinated us like

no other." Still, for $10, most
walkers consider it money well
spent

The customers, who occa¬
sionally include Jackie look-
alikes of both sexes with big
sunglasses and pillbox hats,
are mostly women, although
there is also a certain camp
following. They all just love
Jackie. “They won’t hear a bad

word about her," Mr Stafford
says.

The more intimate and
mundane the detail, the more
aroused is the crowd. “This is
Flowers by Philip," says Mr
Stafford. “This was Her flo¬
rist” A frisson goes through
the crowd as they assess the
elegant style of the shop. “We
had a guy come on the tour
once who worked in Philip’s.
He said Jackie's monthly bill
was often in the thousands of
dollars." Gasps.

ways sent flowers as a thank
you to authors and friends.
She always ordered white."

Murmuring “such good
taste”, the walkers continue.
Video cameras are bran¬
dished. and some even take
notes. Mecca on the tour is
Jackie's apartment building at
1040 Fifth Avenue, overlook¬
ing Central Park (with 18 of its
23 windows, to be exact). Her
penthouse fiat with balcony
takes up the attire 15th floor,
and she used a private lift so
she did not have to mix with
other residents.

Mr Stafford points out the
service entrance where the
sensitive, white-gloved door¬
men would usher her out the
back to avoid tire paparazzi
Jackie bought the flat in 1964
for $200,000. but when it goes
on sale soon it is expected to
raise $5m (£3.3m).

The building is now familiar
from the newscasts which
showed the thousands stand¬
ing in the rain outside during
the last visits of Jackie’s family
and friends at her wake in
May. Mr Stafford came and
stood among the mourners.
“Well, I had been doing these
tours about her for five years,
and I grew oddly fond of her. I
felt I should come and pay my
last respects. I’ve never been in
a crowd so silent”

Mr Stafford stopped the
tours last November when it
was announced that Jadde
was ill with the cancer which
finally killed her. But having
lost out on the lucrative spring
and summer months, he is
now back in business wife few
qualms. He shows the tourists
Campbell’s funeral home, St
Ignatius Loyola church, where
the funeral was held, and lists

•: -

Doorstepping a legend: Sam Stafford on his Tribute to Jackie tour of the Upper East Side—“They won’t hear a word against her,” he says

those who spoke at ffie service.

Where once Mr Stafford
described Jadde as a “national
treasure” she now seems to
border on saint or icon. The
crowd take a deep interest in
the fact that she attended 8am
Mass most days at St Thomas
More church, following her
6 am jog in disguise anticlock¬
wise around the Central Park
reservoir.

T ime then, for some
humanising touches:
the facelift at 60,
under a false name, at
the Manhattan Eye, Ear and
Throat Hospital which report¬
edly cost $25,000; the botch
and bridge in Central Raric
opposite her where she played
with her toddler grandchil¬
dren at weekends, and took
her last strolls.

“This is her grocers,
Gristede’s."The shop cm Mad¬
ison . Avenue is dearly
upmarket Mr Stafford con¬
fesses he always thought Jack¬
ie never shopped there herself,
sending her cook or maid
instead, but then he spotted
her at the fruit counter. “Most¬
ly she had ha groceries deliv¬
ered. and the delivery boys
used to fight about who would
go. The loser was sent, sinoe
apparently the tips were terri¬
ble — a dollar or sometimes
nothing at all ”

A few doors down, the tour
comes to Encore, a second-
floor shop which buys design¬
er label dothes from ladfes-
who-Iunch. and gives them
back 60 per cent of tire price
when sold. Never one to waste
money, Jackie brought all her
old dothes here for years

under an assumed name, and
tiie discreet proprietress of the
shop still refuses to comment
onthesubject

Inside, for those of us who
sneak bade after the tour is
over, there are pink Chanel
jackets with gold buttons for
$400; Joseph trouser suits for
$150; and. yes, a few Caroline
Herrera dresses, Jackie’s fa¬
vourite designer. They might,
just possibly, be hers, and here
we are actually touching
them.

It is this combination of
intimacy and distanoe — the
odd feeling of being a rather
polite Peeping Tom — that
makes the tour work The fact
the Jackie Onassis was such a
private public person, who
almost never gave interviews
or courted fame, makes each
little discovery a nugget for the

tourist or Kennedy fan to take
home and treasure.

Mr Stafford found that
tours featuring other famous
New York characters were
disastrous. “I tried to do. a
Leona Helmstey tour a while
back, and people kept asking
me “Why should I pay $10 to
hear about someone so appall¬
ing?* Stone with the Woody
and Mia tour."

The Tribute to Jadde tour

will run and run. however. “I
expact it to goto number.one in
popularity, beating Haunted
Houses in Greenwich and
Mafia Little Italy." says Mr
Stafford.

Did Jadde know about tire
tour? "Oh yes. When we
started the tour we sent a
notice about it to the Kennedy
public relations people, "typi¬
cally, they did the dignified
thing and did not respond.”

Take a break from sanity

L imping home from holi¬
day. I found something
surreal about the latest
young-offender holiday story.
This is the one which ended
with a 14-year-old. under the
“supervision” of two youth
workers, burgling nine villas
in the Elveden Forest Center
Parc.

Essex social services sullen¬
ly explained that the trip was
"part of the deal" with a
therapeutic organisation. En¬
raged holidaymakers, an MP,
and the fiery managing direc¬
tor of Center Parcs, Peter
Moore preferred the word
“mindless".

And it was mindless. I wince
to say it, because I support the
concept of adventures and
journeys as a way of building
the kind of self-confidence
which does not need to go
burgling in order to prove
itself.

I bade sail-training for
muggers, abseiling for van¬
dals. banger-raring for joyrid¬
ers. I rashly defended Bryn
Melyn over the famous Safari
Boy, braving a hail of pomp¬
ous letters. 1 still reckon h was
cheaper than prison and
might have worked.

It seemed to me little differ¬
ent from the spells on planta¬
tions, sheep-stations, or Alpine
reading-parties which used to
be the last resort ta-parents of
more affluent delinquents.

So why was the Center
Parcs idea mindless? Because
not two minutes' thought can
have gone into it. that's why.

Why not let young offenders taste
the full horror of a family holiday?

Give me two minutes and I
shall prove it

The whole point of proper
adventure therapy is to dem¬
onstrate to narrowed, angry
children the wonder and chall¬
enge of the world and the
pleasures of co-operation. You
learn something real
by dinging to a rope
at the mercy of the
man behind, or
slithering across a
plunging galley to
do the washing-up
(a convened tough
once told me that
you do what you are
told on Tall Ships
out of terror, since
wily the hearty ma¬
niacs in charge _

stand between you
and drowning. Gradually,
grudgingly, you then get fond
of the hearty maniacs, even
copy them).

You learn real tilings by
camping, confronting cold
mountains or open moors; or
by feeding and driving
carthorses, as inmates do at
Hollesley Bay colony in Suf¬
folk. Evaa in the Bryn Melyn
style of comparatively soft
travelling, you could learn
about delay and frustration,
heat and dust; see with your
own eyes how half the world
scratches for crops and yet
sings, and honours its gods

LIBBY

PURVES

and its communities. You
could grow up.

But at Center Parcs? Now
Center Parcs is terrific. I adore
it But it is not the real world. It
is a brilliantly engineered
middle-class idyll, where villas.
nestle in forests and squirrels
scamper around
lakes, where no cars
intrude and all day
you barbecue, doze,
or cycle through the
pines from the sub¬
tropical swimming
dome to tennis,
windsurfing, mas¬
sage. It is a place
beloved of families,
where children stay
healthily amused in

_ all weathers. It is La-

La land: everything
is calculatedly perfect

The last time I met Peter
Moore, that same MD who is
currently threatening action
against his burglarious young
gvesfs keepers, he was off to
test, on his own executive
bottom, the new wild-water
rapids slide ar Long] ear prior
to a, “turbulence meeting”.
Some of tiie whirlpools, it
appeared, were not quite per¬
fect and might need
rebuilding.

Typically, middle England
goes to Center Parcs for short
breaks of three or four days —
the second holiday. They know

it is not real life, and that back
home the roof is leaking, the
mortgage pressing, the boss
appalling.

But what does it all look Kke
to an envious tearaway, a
have-not who already sees the
haves as sleek bastards, natu¬
ral prey? Show him dear little
villas whose happy “owners"
are out playing with bate and
bails, and he will inevitably
break in to steal ' their
camcorders. If he could spell
it, he would probably write
“property is theft” on the walL

You could start the revolu¬
tion at Center Parcs: especially
if the sansculottes did not
have it pointed out to them
that the happy bourgeois were
only there for three days'
escape from effort. No. Center
Parcs was the last place to take
the lad: he could Ieam nothing
there but misdirected envy.

Next time, if they must use
middle-class holidaymaking
as a therapy instead of proper
adventures, let Essex get some
less effete social workers to
take the bey on a real British
holiday: in a crowded car with
a vomiting toddler, to a place
with sharp rocks whim no
careful MD has tested, to
drizzle and damp campfires
and midges. To a holiday
cottage with a broken fridge
and lumpy beds, and dire
picnics of sulphurous egg-
sandwiches made the night
before and eaten in sand¬
storms. That might work. At
tire very least it would reduce
the envy.

t is true enough that in our
contempogary Western world, at
feast in media, Bohemian and
; mteltertual circles, the balance of
social and moral power has tilted so far
towards women that life for men
becomes almost unendurable; women
fee* perfectly entitled to belittle men in
public, to roumfly excoriate individual
males in private — “yew men are so
insensitive; so tatostCTODcwidden'' (as
dismissive as ever was “you women are
so emotional, so capricious^. So it is
understandable that Simon Jenkins
feds the sex war to be archaic that is,
long since won by women; but the
balance of real power remains unal¬
tered. tilted firmly towards men.
Private power is one thing: public

How many in Mitsubishi, come to

“Stop complaining and start writ¬
ing," Simon Jenkins quotes Virginia
Woolf as saying. (Virgin¬
ia Woolf, by me way, to

with being described
as having “a man’s mind
in a womans body".) But

T welve months ago,
Debbie Linden was
told by her doctors that
she was a month from death.
Part of her Ever was irrepara¬
bly damaged. Her skin was
grey and hung from her
emaciated, six-stone frame.
So befuddled was her brain,
she could hardly speak. Her
arteries were likely to
haemorrhage.

Now she is sipping tea in
the green shade of her garden
of her ground-floor flat in
Surbiton, south London, talk¬
ing fluently, looking fit and
feeling fulfilled for the Erst
time in her 33 years. She has
regained the figure which
once inspired comparisons
with Marilyn Monroe and
graced page three of The Sun
and a dozen television shows.

Yet today the talk is not of
show business fart of recovery
from what Ms Linden
describes as the illness of
addiction. You name it. Ms
Linden has been addicted to
h: Valium, cocaine, alcohol.

Now she wishes
others suffering
from the same dis¬
ease. She speaks
as one who has
been to hell and
back and who
wishes that others
may be inspired by
her recovery. The
answer far her has
been The Fellow¬
ship. It saved her
life.

To anyone else
who is suffering

Alcoholism is an illness. You
are physically allergic to foe
alcohol. But many people
don't recognise it as an ill¬
ness."

She has now been sober for
a year and is following the
Fellowship's 12 recovery
steps. She hopes that a book
about her life being written
fay her fianefc, Peter Buckley,
will help others.

"You can only do it for
yourself,” she says. “And you
can only do it when you really
hit rock-bottom. Sane people
don't have to go very far. I
had practically to kill myself.
But I was miraculously
saved. I am one of the lucky
ones."

Bom in Kingstonrupon-
Tharnes, southwest London,
to Neil Linden, the entertain¬
er and musician, and his wife
Rosemary, her childhood was
comfortable, loving and
happy-go lucky. “I don't think
my troubles were caused by
anything in my upbringing.
My parents have always been
loving and supportive. I think
I was bom with an addictive
illness."

By 14 she was hooked on
anti-depressants. When she
hit 15. she began drinking
and smoking dope and be¬
came an anorexic who would

bandage ho 1 breasts to
appear thinner. By 16 she was
taking cocaine. Al !8 she
would wake up and swallow
uppers, keep going by quaff¬
ing champagne, and knock
herself out by taking down¬
ers. In between she consumed
about £120 worth of cocaine a
day. Every time her parents
or friends sent her to doctors,
they would prescribe more
drugs.

“No one really realised
what was going on." she says
between puffs of her Silk
Cuts, the last sign of her
addictive past. “I was so
young. It didn't show in my
looks and I could manage to
keep going to jobs." A cham¬
pagne lifestyle, as she puis it.
didn't help. Her friends were
in the have-a-good-time busi¬
ness, awash with cash and up
all night at Tramp.

The next ten years saw a
familiar pattern.' Filled with
feelings of self-loathing and
worthlessness exacerbated by
heT dissolute lifestyle, she
would abuse herself till she

_ collapsed. It might

be with drugs, li
might be with
drink. Several
times she tried to
commit suicide.
The scars snake up
her wrists and
arms.

Then her friends
and family would
gather up the
pieces and deposit
her in a clinic to
recover. After a
few weeks sober
and clean from
drugs, she would

start again. As her reputation
became known in the busi¬
ness. work began to dry up.
Desperate for cash to feed her
habit, she resorted to bank¬
note fraud and was given a
nine-month suspended
sentence.

clinic "f was told that I

half weeks, in a dosed ward. I
was given 80 milligrams of
Valium a day. I thought 1
would die in withdrawal. 1
was drenched in sweat and
shivering at the same time. 1
thought: This is really my
last chance.' I think I had my
first moment of sanity."

Eventually, she wishes for
marriage and children with
her partner, who has helped
nurse her recovery. Al one
stage, he had to hide all the
knives in the house for fear of
his life. And she wants to
return to treading the boards.
She still has much of the
perky, dolly-bird charm that
made her such a pin-up. and
loves playing to the camera
that made her name. "Pose
less. Be a bit more natural,"
instructs her boy-friend Mr
Buddey. as she flirts wifo The

prize for men, for women, for other.
Prizes are good for the book trade, but
bad for readers and writers: readers,
and indeed writers, come to believe
that novelists write for fame and
fortune, understanding no other
motive tor the trade. The prize humili¬
ates all writers but one; it is an
undignified lottery, introducing com¬
petition where no competition should
be. Prizes keep old-style boundaries
between good (non-commerdal) and
popular (commercial) alive in an
—way: serve to lessen and
undermine the responsi¬
bility of the publishers
editor, providing a false
pigeonhole, taking away
the pain of financial risk.
Won’t sell but might win
the Booker! Publish!
Yawn, yawn. To win a
book prize is to receive
the approval of a genera¬
tion. which is a fairly
sure way of not enjoying
the next century's
approval. (If attention
from the future is what
the writer’s after.)

But we don't Eve in a
perfect world. We live in
one in which book prizes
are necessary. Language
is currently at war with
image; television and
film are winning hands
down against the written
word. The book trade,
and the writers, and the
readers need to keep
going somehow until the

■ The chattering
classes need no more
encouragment

O n March 10. 1876, m a small back
room in Boston, Massachusetts, the
words “Watson, come here, 1 want
you!" were signally uttered. At which, no less
signally, the wanted Watson, who was in a
small front room, duly came. And what, of
course, made all this so signal was the signal
that made it. for those six little words
comprised the very first message ever to be
transmitted by telephone.

I haw always cherished them. Indeed, in
the great roster of Victorian opening re¬
marks to assistants called Watson, they
come, in my view, second only to: “You have
been in Afghanistan. I perceive." What I
cherish them for is their sheer telephonic
quintessence: here are two discrete men
separated by one concrete wall, and they
need to make contact one dials, the other
picks up the phone, but there is no
spendthrift taradiddle about "Hallo, is that
Small Front Room I. my name is Alexander
Graham Bell. I was wondering if I might
perhaps have a brief word with..." or
“Good morning, thank you for calling Small
From Room 1. this is Daniel Farrar Watson
speaking, how may 1 help your, there is just
a bark and an instant response. Right there
on day one, telecommunication was as good
as it was ever going to get. After that, it
would be downhill all the way.

Quite how for down that hUl 1 find myself
this morning. I do not know and cannot
guess. I know only that British Telecom
wants to bolt a personal stereo to my head
and fly me to Sydney in a kimono, and guess
that what it wants in return for doing this is
me to spend money. 1 have come to these
conclusions notwithstanding the claim by
BT that what it wants is me to save money,
because, well, call it a feeling.

I have received a letter from Mr David
Dux bury, BTs marketing director, announ¬
cing “a new way for our most important cust¬
omers to enjoy even greater benefits". My
chest having finished swelling. I noted that
the new way was entitled PremierLina but
despite the feet that long experience has
taught me that any neologism with a capital
letter in the middle of it exudes a warning
whiff of dodginess. I nevertheless read on.
since being most important confers certain
responsibilities. Thus 1 learnt that Premier-
Line offers a 15 per rent discount on calls for
customers who use the phone a lot If I cough
up £24 per annum for Premier line every
time 1 subsequently dial 1 shalL according to
BT. be saving money: even though, accord¬
ing to ma I shall be spending it.

N o matter * am the last person to
complain aoout the manipulation of
language for cash. I am. however,
the first person to complain about the
proliferation of language for it; there is
already far too much language about, and
most of the too much is the direct responsi¬
bility of the telecommunications market; the
exponential burgeoning of phones, faxes,
mobiles, telexes and all and the rest has
ensured a Parkinsonian footnote which
declares that chit-chat expands so as to fill
the apparatus available for its completion.
BT knows this, and knows that Premier Line
will incite subscribers to spill more language
for more money, if less purpose. We shall
all be talking more and more, saying less
and less.

Especially if we want to fly to Sydney in a
kimono, nodding our heads to Dire Straits.
For, as if the 15 per cent discount were not
enough to persuade us to dial 2 . Premier Line
will also bring us TalkingPOints. When you
join, you receive 500 free (sic) TalkingPOints,
and the more you talk thereafter, the more
TalkingPOints you clock up; which, when
you have enough, may be exchanged for
both air miles and “exclusive free gifts for all
the family, from kettles to kimonos, tumblers
to torches, pens to personal stereos".

I do not know how long you would have to
talk to get to Sydney in a kimono, but I do ad¬
vise you to find out, it would be ghastly to be
stuck in. say, Kowloon, clutching only a tum¬
bler. when another 23 hours of needless nar-
ter would have brought you up to fully inter¬
continental chic. If. indeed. 23 hours would
do it. ft's a fair old distance to Australia.
Though not, perhaps, as great as the one
separating us from the days when you could
pick up a phone, say: "Watson, come here, i
want you!”, and have done with it.

THE TIMES WEDNESDAY AUGUST 101994

Dr Thomas Stuttaford wonders whether official dietary advice is a deliberate dist raction ftgm_N HScuts

We needn’t swallow
this propaganda

B efore the war. good food was
equated with new-laid eggs,
cream, butter and roast beef. It
was prescribed for the debilitated ^con¬
valescent and weak both by the pinstripe
doctors in Harley Street and their more
lowly tweedy rural colleagues. Even
during the strict period of rationing, a
similar menu was recommended for all
those who had heavy work to do.

Before the war it was politically
correct to sympathise with the poorer
classes, who could afford meat only
occasionally and for most of the week
had vegetables, bread and gravy. As a
young doctor. I once shared the main
meal of the day with the family of a
Norfolk cowman, it made a never-to-be-
forgotten impression on me. His wife
carved her husband and me some small
portion of pheasant, poached of course,
whereas she and the children had only
vegetables and bread doused in gravy.
I'm still sorry for than nearly 40 years
later. They may unwittingly have had
the ideal Virginia Bottomley diet, and
one which would satisfy the Govern¬
ment's new health guidelines, but I can
only remember how small the children
were compared with my own. and how
enviously they watched every mouthful
of meat their father and I swallowed.

Those who despise the traditional
British diet would do well to take a quick
walk around the churchyard and make
a note of the ages recorded on the graves.
The 19th-century farmer and squire en¬
joyed a high-protein, high-fat diet — al¬
beit one relieved by home-grown, vita¬
min-rich vegetables and half a bottle of
red wine — and they lived to a ripe old
age. The labourers who struggled along
on roughage-packed fare, which would

today delight those who live in the mues¬
li-belts of our great dries, died young.

During the war, the public conception
of healthy eating was regularly manipu¬
lated by government propaganda. Initi¬
ally, bread was good for us because it cut
back on meat; later, as the Atlantic war
went badly, bread was rationed to save
imported grain. Then we were told that
bread was a disastrously fattening sub¬
stance. responsible for many ills, and we
were told that we should eat potatoes,
which as it so happened were plentiful at
the time. Pseudtwdentific stories of the
virtues of the carrot were also circulated,
possibly in part to disguise the discovery
of night radar but principally to encour¬
age the public to switch from bread and
meat to vegetables.

The rehabilitation of bread as a
healthy food is now complete, and in the
last month or two we have been assured
that it is not fattening at afl. The fear of
fat has become so extreme that when
doctors discuss diet with patients it
sometimes seems that their anxiety
about cholesterol levels has blinded
them to the benefits of fat. For. quite
a pan from providing energy, fat is
needed for sound cell-wail construction,
for the production of essential hormones

and to enable life-preserving, fat-soluble
vitamins to be absorbed. Incidentally,
for people over 65, a slightly raised
cholesterol level is associated with a
longer, not a shorter life.

Milk and cream may now have lost
their healthy image, but only 30 years
ago in my family practice, milk and
cream from our small herd of Jersey
cows was distributed free to sick or
needy patients. It is but a matter of time
before dairy products once more become
recommended foods, to counteract the
dread of osteoporosis [brittle bones) due
to lack of calcium, or rickets from
vitamin deficiency in sun-starved dries.

Bran is another example of changing
fashions in medicine. It was fed to the
hens a generation or two ago. but of late
it has Become accepted as the panacea
for all human ills. It is scattered over
breakfast cereals and puddings in the
hope of helping those who suffer from
heart disease, constipation or diverticu¬
litis. Now it has been shown that bran is
not as beneficial as was thought ten
years ago. It is only useful in treating gut
diseases when they are accompanied by
constipation; in any case, polystyrene
granules are as effective in almost afl
respects. Too much bran upsets calcium

levels and reduces vitamin absorption- If
extra fibre is needed, it is better taken,
rather surprisingly, out of the chemist's
bottle in the form of Fybo-gel, which has
proved more effective than the natural
product from rite miller.

No list of food fads is complete
without consideration of die campaign
against alcohol Despite massive evi¬
dence that very few men suffer unless
they take more than 42 units a week,
or are very short and very fat foe
Government, on no very good scientific
evidence, has preached that 21 units
should be foe maximum, whether the
drinker is a giant or a dwarf. A unit is
a pub measure of spirits, a small
glass of wine, or half a pint of standard-
streogth beer.

The government recommendations
are even more strict for women. They
are limited to not more than 14 units a
week, despite American research which
followed some 80,000 American nurses
for many years and showed that those
who drank up to 35 units a week not only
had a better cardiovascular disease
record, but were less likely to die young
from other causes. The Government's
advice on alcohol has been so patent¬
ly absurd that it is expected to change

in the face of public opinion.

During the war. Lord Woohon's
propaganda was supremely successful
In retrospect, health didn't come into his
considerations so much as political
expediency. But what is fhe present
Government's motivation? To attribute
its current campaign for control of our
diet to a love of the nanny state is
simplistic. Nor is it' likely that the
Government is unduly influenced by
those who want to show solidarity for
the starving Third World by abandon¬
ing Western eating habits. So many
think that die present teachin g is more
related to the Department of Health's
cost-cutting, hospital-dosing plans, it
may'hope that by spotlighting an
enthusiasm for healthy living, which
costs very little and is in any case a
nebulous concept, it can distra ct public
attentio n from foe comparative shortfall
of investment in the health services. If
patients can be persuaded to desert foe
hospitals for the local health clinic,
money is saved. More would be saved if
they wait only to foe chemist The
cheapest option of aS would be to en¬
courage people to beCeve that they
needn't go anywhere provided they care
for themselves by abandoning biscuits
and cheese and eating potatoes:

People should be screened to find out
whether they belong to ajninctrity group £
with a biochemical abnormahty that
predisposes them to cardiovascular or
other diseases. But if they belong to the
great majority who are fundamentally
healthy, they should eat a good, mixed,
tr aditional diet in moderation of course,
so that they remain slim, and would be
very well advised to have half a bottle of
red wine, or its equivalent aday.

Aligned with the IRA

The troops who have been in Northern
Ireland for a quarter of a century have
been betrayed by their own Government
all along, says J. Enoch Powell

T wenty-five years ago. troops
were deployed in support of foe
police in Northern Ireland, as
they would be. if necessary, in
any other part of the country and as.
according to the Scarraan report, they
almost were in the Brixton riots. Armed
intervention by the adjacent Irish Re¬
public was thereby ruled out; and it
might be supposed that the Government
thereby gave the ultimate confirmation
of accepting the province as a part of the
United Kingdom. The true causes and
purpose were, however, very different
! never realised the duplicity, the
selfishness and the cynicism of foe
English State (a description ..chosen
deliberately in lieu of such alternatives
as the British State) until I became
involved in Northern Ireland. I even
grew to feel a reluctant admiration for a
nation whose government machine can
persist cold-bloodedly, year after year,
from generation to generation, in be¬
traying a section of its citizens while
brazenly professing intentions directly
opposite to the true ones.

In relation to Northern Ireland, the
beginning of wisdom and foe pre¬
condition of understanding of whatever
happens there is to grasp that since 1919
the English State has with dogged
tenacity been determined to rid foe
United Kingdom of the province. This
determination is the more striking in the
light of a demographic fact. One thing
that has never altered since the general
election of I91S is that the majority of the
electorate of Northern Ireland — Catho¬
lic and Protestant — choose to five as a
part of the United Kingdom. Apart from
a tiny minority, the inhabitants of the
northeast of foe island of Ireland
invariably vote to be represented in the
Parliament at Westminster. At the
general election of 1992, that option was
chosen by 17 out of 17 constituencies,
delineated and voting under foe same
law as mainland constituencies. From
one side of the province to foe other, the
majority of the electors, presented with a
candidate who says “Vote for me and I
shall not go to Westminster", neverthe¬
less choose to be represented there.

This fact establishes more than all the
referenda in foe world can do. That is
why those who wish to detach Ulster
from foe United Kingdom strive by hook

or by crook to abort referenda: they
know only too well what the outcome of
a genuine referendum would be.

This voting pattern remains constant
from generation to generation. The
pattern today is not materially different
from that immediately after what is
called “partition" — the creation of
Northern Ireland in 1921 This must be
enormously discouraging for foe For¬
eign Office and its local outpost the
Northern Ireland Office, to contemplate.
Nevertheless, since 1919 they have
gritted their teeth and stuck to the
objective of putting Northern Ireland
out of foe country to which its people
persist in voting to belong.

But what has all this to do with 1969?
A great deal. However much one may
admire the persistence of the English
State, foe same credit cannot be given to
it for inventiveness. On the contrary, it is
still working in 1994 with the same
formula, or dodge, as was adopted in
1919. You may wonder why Her Majes¬
ty's Government continually seeks de¬
volved government in Northern Ireland.
It is not out of any desire to secure
"peace". Only a fool would suppose that
people there shoot one another because
they lack a responsible forum in which
to debate health and soda] services, it is
because since 1919 devolution in some
form has been regarded as foe most
convenient device for removing North¬
ern Ireland from the United Kingdom.
Ever since December 19, 1919. when
Lloyd George's Cabinet accepted home
rule for Northern Ireland as “a measure
which paved the way for a single Irish
parliament", there has been no change
in the British Government's formula:
force home rule upon Northern Ireland
and then link it up with foe Irish
Republic It was with this end in view
during foe 1930s that Britain treated
Ulster as far as possible like a self-
governing dominion. But a unionist
parliament and government turned out
to be an obstacle rather than an
instrument for creating a united Ireland.

An attempt to “rush foe fence” was
made unsuccessfully after foe inaugura¬
tion of the Northern parliament in 1922
and again under the shadow of war with
Germany in 1938. A new start came in
foe mid 1960s, under American pressure
within Nan. with a tip-off to foe Ulster

Premier O’Neill to get moving towards
a gr eement with the government of the
Irish Republic The reforms which he
implemented as a result conveyed a
clear sign to both sides that foe days of
Stormont, foe stumbling-block to a
united Ireland, were numbered. This
resulted in widespread disorder and
sparked the commi t m e n t of foe Army-

Yet an intelligent observer mighi have
been puzzled as to why abolition of foe
Northern Ireland parliament and gov¬
ernment (on which HMG insisted in
1953) was not followed by reversion of
foe province to its former position in the
United Kingdom, but instead fay an
attempt to make a new devolved
constimtion linked to the Irish Republic.

That attempt faiwi, but it has been
persistently revived during the years
which followed, down to the present
Since the murder of Earl Moun&atten
in 1979, however, there has been a
timetable for changing the status of
Ulster. One stage envisaged in that
timetable -was the. Anglo-Irish Agree¬
ment of 1985, which gave the Republic

[Northern Ireland.

The arrival of the armed forces in 1969 was felt throughout Ulster

B y 1993. -Ihe time had come
to move forward again, by
building upon that foundation
with the so-called Downing
Street declaration.

The objective of transferring Ulster
from the United Kingdom into an all-
Ireland state aligns Her Majesty's
Government with the IRA, with the
anomalous result that terrorists and the
Government which purports to oppose
them are pursuing the same purpose. In
1993, therefore, mat Government ap¬
proached foe IRA, saying in effect
“Boys, we are now going to fake the next,
and probably derisive, step towards our
common goaL The conflict therefore is
oven so why not pack in your cam¬
paign?" Unfortunately or fortunately,
the IRA did not trust foe British
Government and declined to be drawn.

How different all this is from the
picture that is so sedulously presented to
and through the media; bid a proper
understanding enhances the tragedy, in
which the commitment of troops in 1969
formed an earlier scene. It is the tragedy
of a government committed to objectives
which it dare not avow. Within that
tragedy is contained another, the tra-

gedy of a government whose actions and

aims are tantamount to shooting its own
troops in the baric That is what happens
when one sets out deliberately to defy foe
overwhelming wishes of an electorate.

Newall race

JERSEY'S best-known detective,
Jim Bergerac, has been on the
Newall murder case for years, or
rather John Nettles, the actor who
played him. has been. Nettles
became so fascinated by foe case
that he included a lengthy account
of the first five years of the inquiry
in his book John Nettles' Jersey.
But try as publishers may. they
cannot persuade him to re-enter foe
fray and write a more comprehen¬
sive account

That, however, has not prevented
others &om scurrying to their
word-processors to produce what
they all hope will be the definitive
story. Three wordsmiths have been
pounding at their keyboards
throughout the trial, with the first
stage of the publishing race being
won by Scottish journalist Barry
Wood, who finished the manu¬
script of Blood Betrayal on Mon¬
day night It is scheduled to hit the
bookshops in a fortnight's time.

Hard on Wood’s heels are journ¬
alists Tun Brown and ftiuJ Cheston
who spent yesterday locked in thor
St Helier hotel rooms by their pub¬
lisher John Blake until they finish¬
ed. “I am going to birch them u
they don’t meet the deadline," said
Blake menacingly yesterday. “It’s

DIARY

7pm this evening and publication's
the third week in August."

Nettles insists he will definitely
be leaving it to others to tell (he
final version of the “savage. Wood)'
and unnatural story" he described
in his book. “Everyone now knows
how it was done, where it was done
and when it was done. The only
interesting question is why, and the
only person who knows the answer
to that is Roderick. And I suspect he
wont be saying."

Dennis Nflsen’s biographer,
Brian Masters, has also derided to
give the case a miss. “The Newall
brothers suffer from pure wicked¬
ness, impatience and greed — not
from personality defects. So I am
not interested."

compatriots that come first. ac¬

Style council

IF A touch of class is suddenly dis¬
cerned within the Cabinet Office,
the reason could be John Majors
latest appointee — the style guru
PCter York. Inventor of the sobri¬
quets “Sloane Ranger" and “May-
fair Mercenary", York is to had a
new Cabinet Office committee
charged with spotting the techno¬
logical “winners" of the future —
the successors to compact discs,
Gameboys et al.

Under the author of Style Wars
will be. among others, film produc¬
er David Putmam, the BBC’s Janet
Street-Porter and Professor Antho¬
ny Smith, president of Magdalen
College, Oxford. York (he dropped
his original surname, Wallis, when
working as style editor for Harper’s
& Queen ) is wildly enthusiastic.
“It’S riveting — a great eye-opener.
The new technologies will change a

great many institutions in leisure
and learning very radically."

The venue for the body's stylish

has mrt passed wife distinction the first tests
set by those standards.

--; Mr Mandela did not inherit a dean slate
f°m his predecessors. But his chief prob-
Jems he not with the old guard, but the new.
Tne majority of fee MPs of fee African
National Congress (ANQ have emerged
nnmoderatdy from their pre-election pur¬
dah. pressing a socialist agenda which is
damaging the confidence of investors at
home and abroad. Mr Mandela, however,
has continued to employ his characteristic
posture that (rf a serene atoofeess from the
political fray. Until now, this has served him
wdL _ But it is fast becoming dear feat
inderisiveness hides under serenity's
mantle.

There is a marked absence of discipline in
two important areas: first, in the labour
force, where there has been an outbreak erf
strikes and unrest and second, m Mr
Mandela’s own Cabinet. The demands
made by the militant unions could have been
predicted many months ago. They stem
from fee pre-election promises maft» by fee
ANC to black voters, and are informed by
the belief that fee large South African
Communist Party (SACI^ component that
enjoys the shade of the Mandela umbrella
wffl ensure a swift payout Mr Mandela’s
faultless reasoning—that strikes discourage
foreign investment—is an indigestible dish
for the SACP. and he may well have begun

to rue fee inclusion in government of this
dirigiste fifth column.

The other source of concern, the Cabinet,
poses questions feat go to fee heart of the
country's constitutional arrangements. Tito
government of national unity was a refresh¬
ing innovation, fashioned by the ANC and
fee National Party (NF) as. a device wife
which to gain fee confidence of ethnic
minorities and business. The method was to
serve as a possible antidote to hegemonic
. role fry fee ANC by. ensuring that South Af¬
ricans enjoyed proportional representation
in their government Yet the finest con¬
stitutional safeguards are no substitute for
practical readiness id co mpromi se.

The ANC has shown no respect for the NP
in Cabinet: the g o vernment erf national unity
is earning to resemble a governme n t erf
political freelancers. Policies are formulated
by individual ministers — unschooled in fee
mechanics of a Cabinet, or simply contemp¬
tuous of them — and made public without
consultation. The Minister for Justice,
Dullah Omar, is the worst offender. He
announced detailed plans for the establish¬
ment of a “Truth Commission” — to
investigate violations of human rights under
apartheid — without so much as informing
the Deputy President, F.W. de Klerk. In
addition, fee country has been treated to the
spectacle (rf Mr Omar criticising America’S
Cuban policy, and erf criticism (rf Israel by
fee Minister far Defence. Both men pur¬
ported to speak for their government:
neither has charge of foreign affairs.

Mr de Klerk has made dear his anger at
the contempt for Cabinet and for collective
decision-making shown by the ANC Mr
Mandela will be letting South Africa down if
he does not pay heed to his Deputy
President There is still time to make a poor
beginning better.

THOUGHT FOR FOOD

The State should be off the national menu

Only the most, extreme libertarian would
deny that the State has, a legitimate interest
in the eating habits .of its citizens. .Every
nation needs anable-bodied wor k force and.
if ft offers subsidised healthcare, must seek
to limit the system* costs. The Government
should not be criticised, therefore, for
investigatingways in which a healthyway of
life might be encouraged., What is alarming

Virginia Bottrahky.feeH^^iS^^^y, .•
has rightly made preventive; medicine a
cornerstone of her departments policy. She
has also made it her task to increase the
stock of information.available to the public,
about health providers and healthy fivihg. It
must be ashed.however,whether highly
detailed guidelines on eating area sensible
spending priority. -

Few people are likely to take seriously an
injunction from Whitehall to eat three “egg-
shed" potatoes a day and one to two cheese
sandwiches a week. In contrast, many have
been influenced by the straigfetfinward
message of official anti-smoking and anti-
drugs campaigns. Most taxpayers would
regard improvements in the nutritional
quality of sdtool meals and more govern¬
ment information on exercise as better value
for money than official guidelines advising
fee average Britan not taeat more than three
boiled sweets a week.

The most questionable feature of these
guidelines is their bogus tone (rf certainty.
Nutritional science is notoriously subject to

fad and fashion. The prevailing wisdom on
basic foodstuffs such as fibre, sugar, wine
and salt has changed radically in recent
decades and wffl doubtless continue to do sa

Hubris and good governance do not mix.
Hkise guidelines reflect a mistaken beKef
that the State can and should dictate the
minutiae - of people's lives. The difference
between a document of this kind and a
statement of general principle is one of kind
rather than degree. It is reasonable—and a
useful service — for the Government to
outline smsible approaches to healthy
living it is quite another for it to prescribe
the dafty lifestyle of the citizens it serves.

It should be obvious to the Health
Department feat most people now obtain
their day-today information on health from
their doctors or the media. The quality of this
advice is inevitably variable. The Govern¬
ment has a responsibility to publish up-to-
date and accurate reports on scientific
progress in tins area. It may be that many
ftritnns eat unhealthily and ignore the sound
advice given them oh how to improve their

ft fa one feat is unlikely to change as a result
of expensive pontification from Whitehall.

From the Editor of Solicitors Journal

Sir, To extend the new driving licence

identity card scheme was introduced
in 1939. two days after the Second
World War started. It was widely
abused and discontinued after befog
criticised fry a specially constituted

In the case.ofWiDcock v Muckle in
1951 Lord Goddard, the then Lord
Chief Justice, noted that the police as a
matter of routine were demanding
identity cards. He concluded that this
was wholly unreasonable and did
“tend to make people resentful of the
actions of the police” and “turn law
abiding subjects mto law breakers".

WSteock. a motorist, refused to
produce his identity card. When
handed a form requiring him to do so.
heferew it on the pavement. A special
court including the Master of the
Rolls congratulated the magistrates
on giving WiDcock an absolute dis¬
charge. Soon after the decision the
identify card system was repealed.

lb introduce a computerised iden¬
tity card system would be damaging
to polire/oomimmity relations ana, as,
the Data Protecti o n Registrar has 1
more than once pointed out, would
facilitate fee linking of files and the

From Mr Peter Schaefer

Sir. Following press accounts that
thousands of patients wake during
surgery, in an article last Friday

a monitor which would detect when
patients start to come round from the

Department of Anaesthesia at the
University of Manchester, and Dr
Chris FOmfrett, a neuro-physiologist,
has been progressing weak on just
such a monitor for the part four years.
Six prototype units are undergoing
clinical trials in local hospitals.

As wdl as protecting patients from
nightmare experiences of fee type re¬
cently described in the press, the
Manchester monitor provides a non-
invasive. rapid and reliable mdicafion
of a patient's impending awakening,
and permits safer anaesthesia of el¬

At fee time the misplaced “freedom

fronted the only people who really
object are criminals who don’t want
their identity known, illegal immi¬
grants or holiday viators who over¬

Sir. The current dispute between
Cornish and Spanish fishermen
would be solved at a stroke if a currem
EC draft regulation were lobe adopted
by fisheries ministers. The regulation
proposes a phaseout of all drift net¬
ting throughout the Community over
a five-year period. Aimed at conserv¬
ing tuna stocks, fee proposals have
been widely welcomed by inter¬
national conservation bodies because
they would also eliminate fee in¬
cidental catch of porpeises and dol¬
phins.

This association has also cam¬
paigned for the proposals because
they would end the damaging salmon
drift-net fisheries off befe fee north¬
east coast of England and die Irish
coast Such beneficial legislation from
the EC is a rare commodity and
should be welcomed by all concerned.

missioner for Canada emphasised.

Effective management depends on
setting specific objectives, establishing
the means to achieve them and then
enforcing those measures. There are
too few fish because they are befog

described by the Worldwatoh Institute

The only practical solution is to cut

taken if fee compensation were suf¬

From Mr John Green

Sir. The true scale of fee disastrous
decline in fish stocks in European
waters is disguised by the use of “peak
years" in the 1960s rather than those of
20 years earlier.

When war was declared in 1939 the
signs of a serious depletion of fish
stocks in the North Sea and near¬
water grounds were already apparent.
Five enforced no-fishing years allowed
stocks to recover to one of the highest
levels this century.

Quotas favoured by fee European

tive as substandard size fish caught
are thrown over fee side dead. Larger

Sir, Understanding fee fisheries dis¬
pute in fee Bay of Biscay is not made
any easier by use of the word “traw ler"
for every fishing boat.

Trawls are not befog operated by
either fee Spanish or British fisher¬
men (being described as “trawler-
men") to catch tuna. The Spaniards
mainly fish with lines, and the British
wife drift nets which hang, stationary,
from floats on fee surface. The dis¬
tinctive methods of fishing are im¬
portant because fee type and dimen¬
sions of the gear (not including trawls)
are at fee caitre of this dispute.

Catholics and fundamentalism

From Mr Nicholas Coote

Sir. Karen Armstrong's description of

ist f Heavy weight of the Holy
Father's hand", August 3) relies on
what looks to me like an overriding
commitment to what she rails “mo¬
dernity". By feat standard any sort of
religious orthodoxy will be labelled
" fimdanwntarjfflm '*.

Again, the remark that “Jesus never
mentioned birth control” smacks of
the sort of biblical fundamentalism
which the Catholic Church expressly
rejects in favour of an understanding
erf the faith which develops over time.

In any case, the facts speak against
her. The meetings between Vatican
representatives and Catholic theolo¬
gians to which she refers are surety a
contradiction of her position. A fun¬
damentalist church would have no
need of such conversations to discover
whether a particular theology is ortho¬
dox. as theological teaching would
consist only of repeating what was
said by the leadership.

intentions in Karen Armstrong's arti¬
cle show a complete misunderstand¬
ing of how doctrine comes to be
defined and a wilful rejection of
authority in favour of individual
derision wherever convenient.

However, the debates over the
control of births, the cessation of
murder and violence involving church
members, the place of women and of
men in worship and in corporal works
of mercy, married and celibate dergy.
the sharp decline in attendance at
Mass and in religious vocations — all
these do indeed demand open-minded
and weD-documented discussion and
derision.

The fact that Karen Armstrong’s
efforts fail to reach fee standard
required for such serious matters
must not prevent our trying again.

Air traffic control

From the General Secretary of Balpa

Sir, Your article concerning the Nat¬

(Travel News, July 28) steles that the
airline industry in principle has
accepted the concept of privatisation.
As a major pan of the industry we
have very major questions which need
to be answered. These were put in our
submission to the Secretary of State
for Transport

The so-called consultation docu¬
ment was extremely thin (Hi support¬
ing arguments as to why privatisation
would offer anything better than whai
currently easts.

Indeed, the CAA’s awn press release
about the annual accounts for 1993-94
states that “fee National Air Traffic
Services were able in December to

announce average reductions in
charges to airlines of 5-10 per cent
despite a 3 per cent increase in air
traffic movements”, delays at UK
airports were again reduced and the
CAA’s element of charges collected by
Eurocontrol fell by 5.4 per cent from
January 1.1994.

Will the Secretary of State spell out
what advantages the industry, its
employees and the travelling public
wilJ get out of the proposed changes?

Flight crew want to know that the
first-class service currently provided is
going to continue. After all. they rely
on it absolutely.

reasons for wishing to combine

Sir. The Commissioner of fee Metro¬

right io express his concern (report,

ber of violent crimes involving fire¬
arms. This is a concern shared fry
many people but not apparently fry the
media industry.

Whilst some senior broadcasters
have expressed a wish not to promote
a culture of violence, some of the
p rogr am mes transmitted seem to be
progressively normalising the use of
firearms.

In a report published in 1991 entitled
“Murder & Mayhem" we examined.

albeit not exhaustively, late night films
shown on terrestrial television be¬
tween April and September 1991. We
identified 74 incidents involving fire-
aims. In a second survey, between
July and October 1993, we identified
111 incidents involving firearms. In a
third, yet to be published, covering
December 1993 to May 1994, we
identified 177. Of particular concern
are the increasing number of incidents
involving threats to women and police
officers.

Sir. I write to support strongly Lord
Alport's letter (August 5) suggesting
that next year we should commemo¬
rate fee end of World War II on a date
neither VE-Day nor VJ-Day. It should
be one day to recognise fee achieve¬
ment of peace at terrible costs, wher¬
ever the conflict took plac e.

Lord Alport and I both raised this
matter in fee House of Lords on July
7. Part of the Ministers answer to
Lord Alport was: “We are well aware
feat VE-Day was not the end of the
war... I emphasise fee fact that we
shall be looking forward to the
anniversary of VJ-Day to be a great
national and Commonwealth event"

These words suggest that fee Gov¬
ernment is determined to separate the
inseparable. The achievement of
peace was indivisible. Cannot we have
one day for counting fee cost to
millions of people and combine in
determination to build a world of
peace on their graves?

Diana Bamato Walker at the Royal Air Force Club in Piccadilly, central London, yesterday for the launch of Spreading My Wings

£5 settles a war hero’s wager

By John Young

IN THE ballroom of the
Royal Air Force Club in
Piccadilly, central London,
yesterday a diminutive 76-
year-old woman was ceremo¬
nially presented with a E5
note in settlement of a wager
with Wing-Commander Per¬
cy “Laddy” Lucas, the Second
World War fighter ace and
captain of the British Walker
Cup golf team in 1949.

The ghosts of half a century
of aviation, war heroics,
sport high society and a
Britain in foe process of
irrevocable change stalk
through foe pages of Spread¬
ing My Wings, the autobiog¬
raphy of Diana Bamato
Walker, which Wing-Com¬
mander Lucas had bet would
never be written.

Mrs Bamato Walker re¬
galed her audience at the
launch of her book with an
account of her extraordinary
life as a pioneer aviator and
die first woman pilot to break
the sound barrier.

She had, she said, led a
lovely life but was “a lousy

pDot who got away with if.
The granddaughter of Bar¬
ney Bamato, co-founder of
foe De Beers mining group in
South Africa, and daughter of
Woolf Bamato, foe racing
driver who won foe Le Mans
24-hour race in three consecu¬
tive years from 1928 to 1930,
she was bom and reared in
an atmosphere of luxury and
privilege.

Barney, foe scion of a
devout Jewish family in the
East End of London, began
his career as a trader and
juggler in the Mile End
Road. When news of foe huge
diamond fines in Kimberley
reached London, be saved
£50, hitched his way to Johan¬
nesburg and made his for¬
tune

His son Woolf was no less
re markab le. In addition tD
his motor-racing exploits, he
was also a “plus” handicap
golfer, a first-class shot, a
county level tennis player, a
top horseman and a champi¬
on swimmer and skier. •

Diana and her sister. Vir¬
ginia. were hugely wealthy
debutantes during foe Great

Depression, when millions
were scraping a living. But
she rebelled against her privi¬
leged. chaperoned existence
and turned to flying as a new
excitement

Having gained her licence
after only six hours' flying,
she joined foe Air Transport
Auxiliary in 1941, ferrying
aircraft to Royal Air Force
bases all over the country. By
the time she was 22 she had
delivered 240 Spitfires, and
later flew many other aircraft
including bombers, in all
kinds of weather and without
radio and other navigational
aids.

She lost friends, a fiance
and finally her husband be¬
fore the end of 1945 but
continued to fly and in 1963
piloted a lightning at 1,262
miles an hour.

Her highly readable and
entertaining book is peopled
with some of the century's
great names. But there is also
shock, as when she co-piloted
a Lancaster over devastated
Europe in 1945.

“We flew on over the Low
Countries, the doud breaking

over foe industrial Ruhr of
Germany... I was aghast at
foe miles and miles and mfles
of completely pmky-yetiow
dust and ruins. Not a whole
building anywhere at afl.

How had anyone down there
survived foe might of Bomb¬
er Command?”

ENGLAND'S oldest cottage
may have been found .in
Oxfordshire- Tice-ring analy¬
sis has tintprf the buikling of
Mill .JRarm--. Cottage

B^fott^reign of Edmfmd

in. .•

The ancient cottage has
remained almost unaltered for
more than 650 years, accord¬
ing to Dr Nat Alcock of
Warwick University and Dr
Bob Laxton of Nottingham
Univtrsily. -

Reporting in British Ar¬
chaeological News an their
three-year survey- of more
than 100 aoddot houses in the
south Midlands, they describe
the cottage, as “a three-bay
crock house "

Crocks were long curved
thnbers extending freon the
ground up through the walls
to form me top of fee roof.
They were used in many of
England’s earliest surviving
medieval houses.

Mill Farm Cottage original¬
ly consisted of a two-bay open
hall and one other room,
although in about 1500 the

hall was - divided into four
upstairs and downstairs
rooms and a chimney built in
the centre.

The dating erf the cottage
was carried out by removing
drilled cores from the structur¬
al timbers and-matching die
pattern of tree rings — which
can be either thick or thin in
any one year depending on the
weather — with a master
dating curve based on read¬
ings taken from hundreds of
trees from across the British
Isles and northern Europe.

Another house, at Long
CrepdoninBuddfoghamshire.
was built even earlier, in 1205,
but only part of it remains: of
the central hail only one aisle
is still in place and there have
been later additions and alter¬
ations.

Such aisled halls were
grander than crack houses,
but even die latter would have
belonged to well-off peasant
farmers.

Long Crendon has 22 sur¬
viving crock buildings, more
than in any other village in
England.

■ ground mines, three magnetic mm*
md one acoustic mine. Having already
been awarded the George Medal and
going to to receSvetheDSC he became
toftth**most highly decorated na-

val officer of to Second World >Var

Leon Verdi Goldsworthy obtained
. ms secondary education at Kapunda
High Sd vxl Soufli AustraEa. to'
wait on to the Adelaide School of

Mines and die University of Adelaide. .

, When the war began he was in '

• business In Western Australia. He

married just two nyinthc after tire war
started. ’ ■

Physically, Goldsworthy was small
IP and light, but he hada tough and wiry
. body which had been strengthened by
wrastiing and gymnastics. He tried to
enlist m the Royal Australian Navy,
but his small stature caused him to be
rgected initially. later hewas asked by ■
the Navy to reapply. This he did, and -
in March 1941 he was appointed to the
RANVR witfa the rank of sub-fieuten-
. ant About two manthslaier he drived,
in England, and ultimately became a
member of the Rendering Mines Swfr
Section of HMS Vernon. . .

Goldsworthy had already received
training in electricity and physics m
. his civilian days. This was valuable &>
him in his new career among the
complicated mechanisms of German
mines and booby-traps, in a maze of
known and unknown dangers that
seldom gave second rhannw.

His first decoration, the George
Medal, was gained on September 17,

LEON GOLDSWORTHY

1943. for the renttwaTof a mine from
'the coal barge wfaarfat Southampton,
where it had lainJar over.two.years.
He worked; in the operation with
lieutenahr-Cbinnaiider G.J.Cbfl,
GM (Bar). MBE;and only three weeks
later carried out a sfrnflar operation in
die River Thames together wfth Sub-
UeiaenantK-J. Birkett
On August 13.1943. he had made
safe a German ground mine undo-
water off^hoemesa-Gn that occasion
used the specialdiymg suit which a

colleague had helped to develop. It
was only die second occasion on which
such a weapon had been rendered safe
under water, and tile work was
regarded as being particularly hazard¬
ous. for die diver had no means of
escape should the fuse operate.

Goldsworthy dealt on April 10,1944,
with an especially dangerous acoustic-
type mine near Milford Haven. The
mine had been laid two and a half
years earlier. Agasi using the special
diving suit. Goldsworthy successfully

removed die fuse and primer, and law
removed the mine intact

Other incidents underlying
Goldsworthy's George Cross award
i n c lude d rendering safe a mine near
Weymouth on June 1Z 1943. and
another at West Hartlepool on an
unspecified date.

Goldsworthy was mentioned in dis¬
patches in August 1944 for “great
courage and undaunted devotion to
-duty", and the following month he
received the George Cross - a decora¬
tion second only to the Victoria Cross
and awarded for gallantry, primarily
id civilians tut also to the fighting
services for actions where purely
military honours would not be appro¬
priate.

A Distinguished Service Cross was
awarded to Goldsworthy in January
1945, for “gallantry and distinguished
service in mine clearance”. This was
for stripping, in 5Qft of water at
Cherbourg, me first German “K” Type
mine, when the harbour was being
hurriedly cleared for Allied use during
the invasion of Europe.

Lag in 1944 Goklsworthy. with
another disposal specialist, visited the
South Pacific theatre for a tour of dwy
with the United States Navy. This
involved work cm Japanese mines and
booby-traps during General MacAr-
thurs invasion of the Philippines. He
performed similar tasks in connection
with the landings in the Borneo area.
He was on his way bade to London
when the war ended, and in February
1946 the insignia of his GC and DSC
were presented to him by King George
VI at Buckingham Palace. At an earlier
investiture, on May 23, 1944. he had
received tire George Medal from tbe

King.
After i

■ the war Goklsworthy returned
to Perth and became factory manag er
of an electric sign business. Since 1991
he had been vice-chairman (overseas)
of the Victoria Gross and George Cross
Association. He is survived by his wife
Georgie and a daughter.

• ,The prim was a trip to
Hollywood and Cagney him¬

off to train. The boy was then
tafcpn cm a drive around
Beverly Hills, where he
amused Cagney by telling Inm

about to neighbourhood —
more in fact than he did, and
every so often would stop the
car. knock on a door and meek
that he war right, which he
invariably was. -

Rowland returned to Mon¬
tana but films were now all he
could think about At. 17 he
went to study drama in Seattle
and there he met his wife, an
aspiring actress. They went to
New York where, having
marfp a angular Jade of im¬
pression on to established
theatres, they decided to start
their own theatre: to Play¬
room C2ub on West 19th. •
Street, housed in an iron •
foundry. Their first show was
Cocteau's The Infernal Mach¬
ine, the-plays American pre¬
miere. Unfortunately,
however, just as the theatre
was beginning to tide over
financially, it was dosed down
by to Fire Department as a

safety hazard- .

Rowland then derided to
gain some stage management
experience. He secured it at
the Provincetown Playhouse
in Massachusetts, an institu¬
tion where stage managers
were also expected to double
up as actors occasionally.

After to war, in which he
served in to American Air
Force and ran a weekly forces’
radio show, he returned to
New York, and worked as an
agent He soon tired of this

When, ut 1947. the Old Vic
arrived in town with Laurence
Olivier. Ralph Richardson
and Margaret Leighton, Row¬
land realised that this was fee
sort of theatrical world hi

which he wished to belong. He

started by looking after
H.M.Tennent and Littler
showson Broadway, and then
became Binkie Beaumont's
assis tant in London. It was a
glamor ous time in the London

theatre, and Rowland wanted
to be a part of it
- C bnie qAenriy.lie to.

setup onhisown in manage¬
ment The first play that Fetor
Hall directed in to West End
was a Rowland production, as
was Tennessee Williams’S
Camino Real (1957). Some of
his stuff was less highbrow,

There was 77ie Desperate
Hours. Watch It Sailor* and
Brouhaha with Peter Sellers,
whom Rowland found impos¬
sible (he missed so many
performances that his under¬
study gave a party after three
months to celebrate his own
fiftieth appearance in the
show).

. It was about this time, in to
late 1950s, that Rowland decid¬
ed to quit his own company
and go into partnership with
Prince Littler at Stoll Moss.
During his time there, he
could daim to have discovered
Alan Bennett, having been
sent a 400-page outline of
Bennetrs Forty Yean On
which be then produced, star¬
ring John Gielgud; but other¬
wise it was not always to
most creatively rewarding of
experiences. The theatres
dealt mostly with panto¬
mimes and transfers, and
there was Hole chance of
originating shows.

He retired from Stoll Moss
in 1984 and at the age of nearly
70 set up his own company.
Libby Productions, through
which he was able to commis¬
sion new writers. He spent his
last years at his home in
Sussex. Friends likened visit¬
ing him to taking a trip to
Connecticut because of the
warm American welcome one
always received there.

Toby Rowland is survived
by his wife Millie; there were
no children.

CANON PETER THORMAN

Tbe Rev Canon Peter
Thomas, to last of fee
English members of to
Brotherhood of to
y.dkdattbe
; Mhaoa Mwta
Calcutta, on July 11 aged
81 He was bon on April
211910.

PETER THORMAN graduat¬
ed from Sidney Sussex Coll¬
ege. Cambridge, in 1932 and
trained for the ministry at
Cod desd o n College. He was
ordained in 1933 and the first
four years of his ministry were
spent in England, all in fee
diocese of Ripon. In 1937 he
joined the Brotherhood of the
Epiphany, a celibate Order
which rims to Oxford Mis¬
sion (then “to Calcutta-, now
To India and Bangladeshi.
He became a canon of Calcut¬
ta diocese in 1959. From 1955to
1964 he was Superior at
Behala. where he remained
until hb5 death.

During his 57 years at the
mission. Father Peter held
many responsibilities: the care
erf to students' hostel at the
old Mission House in the
centre of Calcutta, to chap¬
laincy of tiie Medical c ol leg e
Hospital, to charge of St
Michael's School at to mis¬
sion's other house in Barisal.
Bangladesh. For a period he
went to Jobarpar. also in
Bangladesh, to look after its
Bengali parish and the small
boys’ school attached to h.

After two years lack in
Calcutta he was put in charge
of the compound at Behala. on

to southern fringe of the city,
with its thriving community of
schools, hostels and orphan¬
age all dedicated to the care of
“the poorest of to poor". In
1955 hewas elected Superior of
to Brotherhood at Behala.
which office he held for nearly
30 years.

Father Peter — “Unde
Guru" to his family and “Boro
Father" (Great Father) in the
compound—was much loved.
He cared for the comfort of to
beys, and of to girls in
Nazareth House, the CMS
hostel next door, in to most

practical way: in addition to
his spiritual duties he knew afl
about how to put to correct
slope on a roof and. indeed,
where to sink wells in order to
get dean drinking water. He
also had particular care for
Sanri Nivash (the house of
peace), to old people's home
on to compound, and was a
frequent visitor at to
Premananda Leper HosphaL

As well as being Superior,
he served as Chaplain of the
Fellowship of to Epiphany
(to supporters of to Brother¬
hood) in both India and in
Britain and often conducted
retreats. ^when on furlough, for
its English members. For
many years Father Peter was.
wife Father Panick Carieton.
to mainstay of the paper The
Epiphany, writing articles and
answering the questions sent
in by Indian students of the
Christian religion.

It was during his time as
Superior that the first four
Inman vocations found their
home in to Community, and
there are now two excellent
young Indian brothers to car¬
ry on the work: one is Superi¬
or. and to other is studying
theology and will be priested
next year. Whh Father Peters
death, and those of the two
other remaining English
Fathers during to past year,
an era comes to an end: 114
years of devoted work in India
and in the two related mission
houses in Bangladesh.

Father Peter had three older
brothers, all of whom prede¬
ceased him.

MARGARET GIBSON

Margaret Gihsoa
medievalist, died from

cancer on August 2 aged
56. She was bom on
January25,1938.

THE death erf Margaret Gib¬
son has deprived medieval
scholarship of one of its most
definitive and widely recog¬
nised practitioners. It was
only gradually that she found
her true and lasting sphere of
work but. once she discovered
it she pursued it with an
orderly intensity tot made
her one of die most influential
shapers of the study of to
fundamental texts (rf medieval
scholastic thought for many
years.

For the last four years of her
life she suffered from what
had been diagnosed as termi¬
nal cancer. It was entirely
typical feat her reaction to this
was to plan, with the financ ial
backing of the British Acade¬
my and the scholarly support
of a small group of helpers, a
complete survey of all fee
existing manuscripts (rf those

works of Boethius which pro¬
vided a substantial part of the
foundations of the medieval
university curriculum.

Margaret Templeton Gib¬
son was born in Glasgow and
educated at Paisley Grammar
School where to spent to 12
years from 1943 to 1955. She
was the daughter and only
child of Dr David Gibson,
lecturer in chemistry at Glas¬
gow University. From school
she went to read English at St
Andrews from 1955 to 1959,
and then History at St Anne's
College. Oxford, Mowed by a
DPhil on the logical and
biblical works of Archbishop
Lanfranc. The whole of her
academic career thereafter
was in Liverpool University as
lecturer, reader and finally as
honorary senior fellow during
die period of iter last iSness
when she had moved to
Oxford.

Her work on Lanfranc was
the basis of all she did later.
For one tiling, ft introduced
her to Richard Hunt, the
Keeper of Western Manu¬
scripts in to Bodldan. in
whom she found that combi¬
nation of a vast knowledge of
manuscripts with wide-rang¬
ing personal contacts that
became — and remained until
her — her ideal of tbe
scholarly life. She always be¬
lieved that careful attention to
to most minute details of
manuscript organisation need

never be incompatible with
large views of to ways in
which a knowledge of biblio¬
graphical details could throw
light on the development erf to
wider European intellectual
scene.

Medieval studies remained
at tiie centre of her thought
and work till the last days of
her life. But they became
increasingly diversified by
such excursions as her guide
to tbe Ivories preserved m to
Merseyside County Museum,
a pamphlet on the local Liver¬
pool antiquary, Joseph Mayer,
and many short, decisively
phrased articles on such sub¬
jects as “Who designed the
Eadwine Psalter?". "The case
of Berengar of Tours", and
“Boethius in to Carolingian
schools". In pursuit of these
and many similar subjects she
travelled widely to, and read
papers at meetings in all parts
of Europe and the United
States. Everyone knew her —
and to knew exactly what
everyone, within the wide
range of her interests, was
doing.

It was c h aracteristic of her
that her reaction to the news of
Iter incurable disease, having
already undertaken an edition
of to medieval library cata¬
logue of Canterbury Cathe¬
dral was to make a large
application to the British
Academy for a five-year grant
in order to produce, in col¬
laboration with Dr Lesley
Smith, a worldwide survey of
Boethian MSS, of which the
first volume has been complet¬
ed and future volumes are on
the way to completion.

There is no scholar to whose
work Jane Austen's descrip¬
tion of herself with the “little
bit (two inches wide) of ivory
on which I work with so fine a
brush" can more aptly be
applied than to Margaret Gib¬
son’s. And, as with Jane
Austen, the final words of that
quotation about producing
“little effect after much lab¬
our" will be falsified by the
growing influence of this work
on the future of medieval
studies.

She is survived by her
mother.

RATS IN THE CITY
THE IMPORTANCE OF
COVERED CISTERNS

Prom a c or respo nd ent

The increasing infestation of the C3ty by rats,
due io the inevitable n eg l ect of empty
tawlfWngg js 2 Hanger that calk far StlOng
measures. The Corporation Medical Officer
of Health has reported an it. as stated in The
lines of Tuesday.

Nearly 25 years ago attention was called by
The Tates to the extent of fee rat colony in
Tfwfrgv T hai, as sow, rats were invading
houses, offices and other bondings in central
tqnrinn and along the Thames, and were
finding to ftwrfgrnffc in kitchens.

faWwiwi, and stores. The cost in money,
and possibly in disease caused by rats, is
enormous.

A point of importance for the ordinary
householder is to ensure that the water-supply
astern is properly coveted. Hurst takes fee
rat to cisterns, and if the water lewd is low. as
it usually is nowadays—cisterns having been
made larger and deeper— the rm may get in
and be tan&fc to get out Co n ta m i na ted water
may then come through Sot washing and
purposes other than drinking. Plumbers

ON THIS DAY
August IO, 1934

m Al night, rats may be seen in the narrower
streets and lanes boldly in quest of food." This
was die view of the City of London's Medical
Officer of Health in the summer of 1S34.

know this from almost daity experi e nce, and it
is oca fastidiousness feat makes them as-
certain beyond doubt before thty take a drop
of drinking^water, that it is noi'ctoem water"
they are drawing.

The usual way a Tat enters a house is
through holes in decayed brickwork, sagged
floss, or occasionally by umnrilrng through
unpaved coaJceOars. At night, however, rats
iitey be seen in the narrower streets and lanes
boldly in quest of food. Rats prowling in this
way gain entrance by any tower window that
happens to be open. No matter how wdl
constructed a large building may be. it

becomes in time fee home of one of more

families of rats. Once they have settled it is
almost impossible to dear them out Of fee
man y methods of destroying them, the use of
a bacteria-spreading mixture may not ya
have been perfected, in theory it offers
advantages over the spreading of poison, as
the poisoned rat is apt to rot and his carcass
becomes a cause of disease. Poisoning, too. is
ooceedingly slow work, for where barium
nitrate was mixed with appetising fats and
placed in a known run it was three or four
weeks before the rats took it. However, when
they did take it the premises were perma¬
nently rid of them.

Hie fecundity of the rat is astonishing. For
example, under a large round dish that was
inserted on some rubbish in fee City a female
rat was lately found lying in fee centre of 15
sucklings. Many of those 15 young rats would
have had their own young within a few
months of coining to maturity. a P 2 " - rats
being capable of producing by themselves and
their descendants more ton 1,000 in a year.

Rats are also a nuisance to the occupiers of
isolated manrinns. and incalculable harm is
dm on forms. The rat is apt also to import
Seas which cause diseases, most dreaded of
which is bubonic plague. They may also
spread typhoid, for all rats are flea infested.

HOMES 17

£T Tnscnipnfous, smarmy

Ttesc are just
some of the adjectives, you might
assume, that the public use when

nose around strangers’ homes and get a cup of tea

Some bogus househunters do a tea circuit on Sunday
afternoon, claims a new survey. Rachel Kelly reports

Wrong. In fact, these are the
wordsdtat estate agents use to
describe die public. Yes, you and

PoMsbtt* this
month by three academics has

found that estate agents tiisfike us

just as much as we diciiir* tiiem.
In the words of the academics:
“An equally negative stereotype
exists on the other side of the
fence."

The research is published, in
Slippery Customers: estate
agents, the public and regulation
by Dr Michael Clarke, a senior
lecturer from the University of
Liverpool Dr David Srahh. from
the University Q f Leeds, and
Professor Mike McConviHe, from
the University of Warwick.

The study identified areas of
“obnoxious” behaviour by the
public, in the agents' view. The

f first was the habit of some people
of doing a tea circuit on Sunday
afternoon.

The study says: “People make
appointments to view or just turn
up at the properties and ask to see

ground for no better reason *fa*n
Jat ftiy have nothing better to
w. Ifl« nosing round other peo¬
ples houses and usually get a ca p
of tea in the process. Such people
had no intention of baying a
property.”

Andy Buchanan, of John D.
Wood's Chelsea office; recalls one
buyer who would always ask to
view property at. cocktail time.

He would accept a large gin and
Ionic which he would p mfiaft
down in one before promptly
leaving."

^Another group of American
hqyers would arrive; behatied,
with cameras strung over their
shoulders and make constant
requests to use the Imtoqr. Mr
Buchanan discovered that a
guidebook published in the Uni¬
ted States suggested that Ameri¬
can tourists in Britain should look
around expensive houses for sale
if they wished to see how the
English really lived.

One solution might be t hat
vendors could charge a prospec¬
tive purchaser a fee to look around

the property, a system which
already exists in America for more
expensive properties, Mr Buchan¬
an says. Or agents could charge a
fee for a brochure; in the way that
Sotheby's and Christie’s charge
for a catalogue to weed out the less
serioas contenders.

. But hme-wasting seems as inev¬
itable consequence of the system
by whkh agents are paid, which
forces than to cultivate purchas¬
ers as the means of earning their
commission.

A second theme to emerge was
simple rudeness. “People will
come in. they wont acknowledge
your smile or your greeting.”
agents, told the academics. While
some agents belkve that members
Of die public fear they are being
taken advantage o€ other agents
me more straightforward. ”1 think
it’s just a lade of of manners,
basically,” one agent said.

A third feature was the public's
ability suddenly to change their
minds, During the I9SQs. the
public's failure to honour agree¬
ments. whether to boy, sell or

simply to keep an appointment
became more marked, the survey
found. Perhaps the most distress¬
ing for agents are sellers who
withdraw. “Not only has the
purchaser incurred fees but may
also be homeless." says George
Pope of John D. Wood.

James Laing. from Strutt &
Parker, notes another nasty habit
after seeing a p roperty advertised
through an agent or on a board
outside the house, the buyer goes
and negotiates directly with the
seder. Mr Pope complains about
sellers who try to aNtnd paving the
agents' fees, often by instructing
solid tors to tell agents that “their
clients will settle your account
direct with yon".

While buyers are criticised for
time-wasting and rudeness, sellers
are not immune from attack.
Agents complained of vendors
who wanted nothing more than a
free valuation for tire purposes of
a private sale.

The seller's worst fault, though,
was gazumping, for whkh agents
get the blame. “When I started

work, a person's word was their
bond." one agent said. “Now a
person's word means perhaps
£250."

Sellers will usually take the
higher offer, often without giving
the first party a chance to match or
better that bid. “It is surprising
how many dfonts will not even do
that.” the agent said. “Then they
use the agent as the person so
blame, because the first party
obviously plays hdl with the agent
and the client will say "Oh. the
agent urid me to do ihar.~

T here seems little prospect of
an improvement given the
structural problems of the
English legal system of property
transfer, which provides ample
time for buyers to backoff.

Moving home will remain an
emotionally fraught experience,
which can be financially devastat¬
ing if things go wrong. About rwo
million households now have
negative equity after buying at the
peak of the boom.

For as long as most Britons
have most of their personal wealth
tied up in bricks and mortar,
agents are bound to complain
about the public as much as the
public belly-aches back.

Window of opportunity: but some people are just time-wasters

houses near Bristol, where local
facilities were so sorely lacking
that a doctor had to use a mobile

Whaf determines bow a place

KX000 homes, in an area north of
Swindon known locally as die
Haydon Sector, will house 30,000
people and eventually cover 1,500
acres .of farmland. "Hie plan will
create seven primary schools,
three “village” centres, a second¬

and a district shopping centre.

Chapman Warren* first frame¬
work plan, for the Manor Farm
area, was approved. Now the
suburban doses and avenues of
Abbey Meads, the first phase of
3,000 houses, are emerging within
fields whose boundary hedges will
remain, and beneath mature trees.

A network of green lanes, foot¬
paths and cydeways threads
through the area, and apart from a
new northern orbital dual car¬
riageway finking west and east

Swindon, vehicles will be limited
to 20mph by a series of traffic-
calming measures. A stream is
bring left to wind through the sites,
complete with a new humpbacked
bridge. At the western end wiD be a
country park with a lake.

The development is an example
of how current planners’ thinking
is still influenced by Sir Ebenezer
Howard* garden-city ideas for
Letehworth and Welwyn Garden
City in Hertfordshire.

The basic infrastructure will be
put in early by the building con¬

sortium, which is giving £20 mil¬
lion towards roads and schools.
The council's hand was helped by
remarkable foresight 20 years ago,
when it bought the access land at
both ends of die development.
Martin Trewhella. Thamesdown*
development officer, says: “We
were able to say: ‘If you want to go
over our land you have to increase
your contribution by 20 per cent’."

Most of the new houses will be
affordable off-the-shelf designs
aimed at the average Swindon
family. So far, a pleasant variety of

house design is emerging from
three of the builders and some
homes will be available this sum¬
mer. Prices range from £40.000 for
one-bedroom apartments being
built by Prowting to £135,000 for a
four-bedroom Bovis home with a
garage. More upmarket houses
will be built later.

The council has also pioneered
the use of new residents as
neighbourhood workers to help
communities to develop; for exam¬
ple. by setting up toddler groups
for local families.

But is all this enough? Mr
Trewhella frets that legislation ties
his team's hands. “It* difficult to
instil what you could call soul into
these areas.” he says. “Govern¬
ment circular 2Z!4) says that what
volume housebuilders do is up to
them. Sometimes standard specu¬
lative houses are built within these
areas — we're trying to rie the
designs down as much as we can
within the legislation. The frame¬
work plans represent an interme¬
diate. more detailed form of
planning control rather than leav¬
ing it all to the builders.

“Hie developers will say they're
not there just for profit, bur that*
dearly their primary objective. We
said that they cannot just start on
300 acres and treat it as a bolted-on
estate: such a large area needs
breaking down into neighbour¬
hoods. We want urban villages
with shops, a doctor's surgery and
pub. Building these will be trig¬
gered as houses are finished.

“I think giving urban villages a
character gives people a sense of
belonging, of identity, and if we
can do that through the village
hubs, we reduce the feeling of
anonymity. Housebuilders will
not attempt this, particularly in
Swindon, which does not have a
strong vernacular style: they want
to build what they build every¬
where else. But now. the mock-
Tudor nonsense has been
negotiated away, and we dissuad¬
ed one builder from using concrete
brick s.”

M r Trewhella believes
that the quality of
houses has im¬
proved through the
1980s and 1990s. Housebuilders
realise they have to put more
quality into them, he says. "The
ability of local authorities to apply
standards has improved in some
directions." he adds.

What will the place fed like as it
develops over the next decade?
Nobody knows yet
“A sense of place is hard to
define," he says. “As the village
centres are presented for approval
we look closely at building designs
and resist anything that is indiffer¬
ent or lacking in character until the
developers come up with some¬
thing bener.

“Hie developers have made a
commitment to creating a goal
quality development that* distinc¬
tive in character and well be
looking for an architectural theme
to give a sense of place rather than
it being Anywhere UK Ltd."

James Fisher looks
at the attraction of

Despite this, and oddities such as

Gavin Selbie of Knight Prank &
Rutley does not consider such

layout is not extravagant and, like
many architect-designed homes, it
makes good use of space. Accord¬
ing to Mr Selbie, it “would function
very well as a family town house".

Pugin is flavour of the month at

impetus and funds. Certainly, the
buyer will need to be well-off.

Paragon House, just outside
Bath, is a classical Georgian stone-
fronted house for sale through
Savills at £425X00. It is also the
home of Enriqueta, the interior
designer, who has left her mark on
it with the use of striking colours.

But Paul Jarman of Savills does

not expect any difficulty in finding a
buyer. Now that foreign buyers are
again entering the Bath market
seeking investment opportunities,
he is looking to the international
market. The high decorative stan¬
dards throughout the house, he
says, will be a positive advantage
when it comes to letting the
property.

THE TIMES WEDNESDAY AUGUST 101994

A recipe for pastry and panache

Jane Reed talks to an editor whose heart-and-head
approach has won a record-breaking circulation

T here cannot be much
wrong with this coun¬
try when you know
that readers of its
most popular women’s month¬
ly magazine "defined their lips
671 million times" last year. Or
that they spread 117 million
tubs of soft margarine. Or that
they spent nearly twice as
much on sensible suits and
jackets as they did on lingerie.

Sally O'Sullivan, the Oolo-
nel-in-Chief of this ever-in¬
creasing regiment of Good
Housekeeping readers (at a
record-breaking 501.654. irs
up 40 percent in the past four
years), believes that her read¬
ers represent “a huge back¬
bone of what is right about
this country. You have to take
them seriously.

"When 1 took over Good
Housekeeping ir had many
good things but it was begin¬
ning to appeal to women who
only wanted to make perfect
flaky pastry.” O’Sullivan
speaks in shires English,
emphasising phrases like
“perfect flaky pastry” in a
manner not dissimilar to Joyce
Grenfell. “Now." she contin¬
ues. “I believe that there is no
woman in the world who
doesn't also want to look good
at a party. You have to give her
the flaky pastry, the perfect
souffle — the brioche of life, if
you like — at one end. and
make her feel she is & stylish.
intelligent woman at the oth¬
er." The brio, presumably.

The circulation was moving
slowly upwards, but the mag¬
azine had lost its style when
she took over three and a half
years ago. One of her first
moves was to bring in the
former Nova fashion editor
Caroline Baker, fresh from
Mira be!la in America. Her
next move was to change the
look and feel of the magazine
in a way that loyal readers
wouldn't notice and new read¬
ers would.

Her strategy should be writ¬
ten up in the editors’ training
manuals. She changed the
type face and the logo, first
researching them with groups
of loyal and potential readers.
The loyal readers liked the old
look best but didn't hate
the new look — potential rea¬
ders loved the new look be¬

cause it was modern and cool.

The logo had not changed
substantially for 70 years.
“Good Housekeeping is not
exactly the title you would
have chosen in 1994," she says.
“Housekeeping is a hideously
long word. Everyone said we
couldn't get the two words in
one line, but by squeezing the
Os. like the old Biba typeface,
we managed it" The new logo
was a big success and now the
American parent magazine
also uses it

“I had to redesign the cover
with the supermarket check¬
out factor in mind, too. You
can see only the top of the
magazine at the check-out.

6 Not every
thought I have
is the same as
my readers’, but
some are shared
fantasies 9

Particularly." she said ingenu¬
ously, “in certain supermar¬
kets.'’ She’s referring to
competition from the
Sainsburys Magazine* which
she admits is a dever package
for 95p: it's big and glossy, but
thinner than GH.

Trust is the word O’Sullivan
uses a lot when talking about
the relationship with her read¬
ers. “Because of the name the
trust has to be 100 per cent" ft
is maintained by a combina¬
tion of the image and the Good
Housekeeping Institute — the
institute really being a “splash
of Which? magazine". But it
was one of the first things she
confronted head-on. “As you
went through the magazine,
you suddenly hit The institute,
ft was pages and pages on this
tea-stained paper and you
thought: ’Oops! Here comes
the homework.’ The decision
to break h up throughout the
magazine was the first pagina¬
tion change. Commercially, it
made a lot of sense. It gave you
a site for an advertise¬
ment before and after the

individual institute articles."

The publisher must have
thought it was Christmas
when O’Sullivan became edi¬
tor. She has an appreciation of
the business side which many
editors don’t, or wont, have.
“We work as a unit with the
publishers. We have the same
bottom line, the same goals.
The only difference is that
mine is circulation while the
publishers is financial."

She almost apologises for
trotting out the old cliche
about the magazine being a
friend to the readers. But like a
friend she wants the readers to
argue with her. They write to
ask why she doesn't do ail the
fashion from Marks and
Spencer. “If I did," she says,
“they would all write and say
— but we know what’s in
Marks and Spencer because
we shop there every week."

Her stint as editor of
Harpers 8 Queen wasn’t all
that friendly. It was successful,
but you feel she didn't enjoy it
one bit. “As an editor you have
the golden opportunity to edit
with your heart and your
head. Harpers was a head-
only experience."

Good Housekeeping is
clearly a heart-and-head expe¬
rience. “Not every thought I
have is the same as my
readers', but sure as hell some
are shared fantasies." she
says. “No. nor sex fantasies. In
many women's lives sex is die
last thing on their mind. They
fantasise about being in bed
on their own.”

Is this empathy what makes
people read it? O'Sullivan is
very clear on this: a woman
starts to read GH for one of
three reasons. She buys or gets
her own home, she marries
and her boss comes to dinner,
or she has a baby and wants
advice she can trust

Why is it that while GH hits
record levels. Cosmopolitan is
falling? Maroelle d’Argy
Smith. Cosmopolitan's flam¬
boyant editor, says: “Good
Housekeeping is the only sta¬
ble thing in my life. It’s success
is simple: nobody is having sex
any more; they’re all too busy.
The magazine sex article is like
a recipe or knitting pattern.
You put it away in a drawer,
meaning to do it some time."

Sally O’Sullivan: readers of her magazine represent “what is right about this country**

interactive advertising experi¬

Videotron’schannels inai
week test of consumers’ re¬
sponses to a chance to influ¬
ence the ads they are shown.

Subscribers to Videotiron, a
London-based subs idiary of a
Canadian cable operator, al¬
ready have a device that
allows them to use a range of
interactive services. Viewers of
the Olympics, for example,
coukl choose which sporting
event to watch, rather titan the
one chosen by the broadcaster.
At the press of a button a
football fan can get a replay,
up-to-the-minute information
on a goalscorer’s record, or
choose to see shots from
different camera angles.

The media world has got
itself tremendously excited by
tiie potential of even such “first
generation" interactive pro¬
gramming. Marketers are in¬
trigued by the prospects for
home shopping, where consu¬
mers can browse through a
talking brochure with moving
pictures, jump from item to
item at the flick of a menu
button, tunnel down a hierar¬
chy erf increasingly detailed
questions, such as size, colour
and price, and eventually
order all via the box. But so
far, there have been few at-,
te mpts to understand how
new media technologies could
affect the traditional 30*eoond
televsion cnmmercial-

The test commercials, in¬
volving ten large national UK
advertisers plus market-re¬
search companies and univer¬
sity researchers. will involve
all Videotron*s 65,000 London
customers.They will be shown
specially created interactive
TV ads. Some may be vp to
two minutes long, rontaining
a series of “decision points"
which the consumer chooses to
fallow. Or viewers may be
allowed to choose which ad to
watch from a menu of, say, a

co mm ercial for regular users
of brand A, for regular users of
brand B, or for people who
don't buy any brands in the .
category at all.

The big question is whether -
they will bother interacting 3i
afl. Experience suggests that if
vie we rs ar e given the chance to
make a choice they do, says J
Andrew Curiy, Videotron’s
manag er for interactive TV.
But be says: “How advertisers, •
can create a relationship with-,
out alien ating the people they ■-
are talking to win be a very:

delicate question."

* The central aim of the
experiment says John Crow¬
ley. Chat Days director of ,
media communications, is tjjr,.

“find out what makes it re¬
warding for consumers to
interact". Most of us are “cog¬
nitive misers’*; he explains; if
we decide to give an ad even a
fracti on of time; we expect
more from it in return.

I ndeed, according to Jayne •
Spittier, who heads a new -
media think-tank in the
Chicago-based ad agency Leo ■ \
Burnett “our whole concept of .
advertising may have to
change". Commercials will -
have to move from working by :
“screeching at consumers" to
two-way conversations. The •
scripted storyboard may dis- '
appear as consumers get used
to the idea of being able to !'
interrogate ads.

On the other hand, advertis¬
ing coukl become more involv- ..

could allow advertisers to aim -

bolds. A sports car ad might 'r
be slotted in for double-

LORD JUSTICE HOFFMANN
said that the plaintiffs were seven
-• members of a pension scheme. In
an action commenced cm Match
19.1992 they node a number of
. serious allegations against their

- employers, the pension fund trust¬
ees and others concerning the
administration of die scheme.

They , complained of the use of
various powers in the trust deeds
for improper purposes and of
breaches of trust in the investment
of foe trust funds.

Those allegations were strenu¬
ously contested. The action was
'Still at tixe stage of discovery and ' 1
foe trial was estimated to last g;
least six weeks. •' - '

The members of the schemed
'were past or present workers ia : '
two Lancashire paper miffs. They - *
were far the most part persons-erf. h
modest means.

At first the action had been '
sfjported by the Graphical Paper:.;
;UH Media Union to which the-
ptaintifis belonged. But after pay- .
ing out some £250.000 oh legal
costs tbe union bad decided flat if *;

entitled to his costs out of the fund
on apt indemnity haste, provided
onf^Ufoat be. had not ac ted un¬
reasonably or "in substance for his

Trustees were also able to pro-,
tea themselves against the
possibility that they might be held
to have acted unreasonably or in
their own interest far applying at
an early stage for directions as to
whether to bring or defend tire
proceedings: see In re Beddoe
01893] ldi 547).

. (b) Extension of special principle
to beneficiaries

Order 62. rule 6(2) did not in
itsdf help tire plaintiffs because
alt h oug h the litigation concerned a
trust fond, the plaintiffs were not
trustees. The Chancery courts bad
however been wilting in certain
circumstances to attend to other
parties to trust litigation an entitle¬
ment to costs in any event by
analogy with that accorded to
trustees.

The classic statement erf tire
principles upon which tire court
aded was by Mr Justice Rekewich.
who^was acknowledged in his time
as a master of Chancery proce¬
dure, in/n reBudaon Q1907]2 Ch

court as to the cbostractiat of tbe
trust instrument or some question
aifeingmrtrecmirseofadministra-

parties were usually treated as
necessarily incurred for the benefit
of foe estate and ordered to be paid

om of the fond.

. Second, these woe cases in
which foe application was made
by sozneooe other than the trust¬
ees, bm raised- tire same kind of
- point as in the first class and would
have justified an application by the
trustees. That second rfs** was
treated in the same way as the firs.

Third, there were cases in which
, s beneficiary was making a hostile
claim against foe trustees or
another benefidary. That was
treated in the same way as or¬
dinary common law litigation and

costs usually followed the event.

If one applied those principles to

the instant case, they did not assist
tbe plaintiffs. The plaintiffs could
not therefore rely upon Order 62.
rule 6© as extended to benefi¬
ciaries by tire principles in In re
Buckion.

M E xt e ns io n of special principle
to der i vat iv e action
The plaintiffs, however, prayed
in aid the analogy erf Order 62. rule
6(2) by a different route.

Ill WaUersirmer v Moir (No 2)
Q1975] QB 373) tire Court of Appeal
had said foai a minority share¬
holder bringing a derivative action
on behalf of a company could
' obtain tire authority of the court to
sue as If he were a trustee suing an
behalf of a fund, with tbe same
entitlement to be indemnified out
of the assets against his costs and
any costs he might be ordered to
pay to the other parry.

The court had said that the
minority shareholder could make
a Beddoe application in tire same
' way as a trustee and so secure an
assurance that he would run be
personally liable for any costs.

The plaintiffs in tire instant case
said that that procedure, imported
into company law from trusts,
should be re-exported to trust law
to cover the position of a benefi-
darywho was suing an behalf of a
fond in which he and many others
had interests.

(ti) Extension of WaBenteuurtn
pension funds

The defendants said that such a
reexportation was quite illegiti¬
mate. The point about a derivative
action was that the plaintiff was
asserting a cause of action which
really belonged to a different
person, namely the company. He
bad no substantive cause of action
of his own

The derivative action was a
procedural device to allow the
company to sue when its normal
organs of control were in the hands
of the alleged wrongdoers^ ...

Even if their Lordships had
came to a difference conclusion
they would not have been per¬
suaded that the trial judge had
exercised his discretion so wrongly
that it could be said in any sense
that he bad acted perversely.

The normal rule was that where
defendants were jointly charged
with the same offence they should
be tried together. The fen that one
defendant was intending to say
that he was acting under duress by
another defendant was not of itself
a valid reason for severing tire trial
of that defendant.

Indeed tire interests of justice
might well dictate that they should
be tried together so that the whole

However, in this case there was
no right to appeal and the applica¬
tion would be refused.

other hand, beneficiaries such as
foe plain tiffs each had their own
cause of action. Tbe proceedings
wre amply hostile litigation dir¬
ectly between beneficiaries and
trustees.

It was wen established that in
such cares costs should follow the
event and not come out of tire fond:
William v Jones ((1886) 34 Ch D

On foe other hand, if one looked
at foe economic relationships in¬

Lordship to be a comp ellin g anal¬
ogy between a minority sharehold¬

of the company and an action bva
member of a pension fond 10
compel trustees or others to ac¬
count toihe fund.

_ In bofo cases a person with a
l imit ed interest in a fund, whether
the company's assets or a pension
fund, was alleging injury to foe
fund as a whole and seeking
restitution aa behalf of foe fund.
Aito what distinguished foe share¬
holder and pension fund member
00 the one hand from the ordinary
trust beneficiary on the other was
that tire former had both given
consideration for their interests.

They were not just recipients erf
The seniors bounty which he. fin-
better or worse, had entrusted to
the control of trustees of his choice.
Tbe relationship between the par¬
ties was a commercial one and the
pension fund members were en¬
titled to be satisfied that the fund
was being properly administered.

Pension funds were such a
special form of trust and foe
analogy between them and com¬
panies with shareholders was so
much stronger titan in the case of
ordinary trusts, that in his Lord-
ship's judgment h would do no
violence to established authority if
the Waflersteiner v Moir proce¬
dure were to be applied to them.

The jurisdiction was 10 be found

Hair plucked from scalp
is non-intimate sample

Regina v Cooke (Stephen)
Before Lord Justice Glidewrii, Mr
Justice Blofek! and Mr Justice
Buxton

[Judgment July 22]

A sample of hair plucked from the
scalp of a person in police deten¬
tion without his consent was a
”nan-intimate sample" as defined
by section 65 of foe Police and
Crimin al Evidence An 1984 and
accordingly its taking was
authorised by section 63(3). sutgea
to the procedural requirements
there set offl-

The Court of Appeal so stated in
a reserved judgment dismissing
the appeal of Stephen Cooke
against his conviction on Fiforuary
17. 1993 at Bristol Crown Court
(Mr Justice Manosll and a jury) of
rape and kidnapping, on which he
was sentenced to a total of ten
years imprisonment.

Section 63 of the 1951 Art
provides: "(3) A non-intimate sam¬
ple may be taken from a person
without tbe appropriate consent if
— (a) he is in police detention ...:
and (b) an officer of at least the
rank of superintendent authorises
it to be taken without the appro¬
priate consent."

Sec tion 65 provides: ”... ‘non-
intimate sample' means — iaj a
sample of hair other than pubic
hair...”

Mr Gil ben Gray, QC and Mr
James Tabor for the appellant; Mr
Francis Gilbert. QC and Mr Pieter
Murphy for the Crown.

LORD JUSTICE GU DEWELL
delivering the judgment of the
court, said that for the appellant it
was argued, inter alia, that the
trial judge had erred in ruling that

samples of hair plucked from the
appellant without his consent
while he was detained by (he police
were non-intimate samples.

In effect the submission was that
when complete hairs were plucked
from a scalp in order to extract pan
of the s berth for DNA testing, that
was not a sample or hair but was a
sample of foe sheath around the
hair, and the hair itself was tiie
means by which foe sheath was
extracted.

Mr Justice Man tell remarking
that that argument owed some¬
thing to The Merchant oj Venice,
concluded that tin: word "hair” in
section 65 must be taken to include
foose inner sheaths which were
inevitably withdrawn with the hair
as it was pulled from the head.

The distinction drawn by Par-
liamem in its definition of "non-
intimate sample" — “hair other
than pubic hair" — related to the
area of the body from which a
sample was taken, not the means

which it was taken. On the Tatx
of it. therefore, section 63(3)
authorised the obtaining without
the consent of the person detained
of a sample of hair by pulling j|
from foe scalp.

A consultant dermatologist
called by the prosecution agreed
with counsel for foe appeDam rhar
a hair and its sheath were separate
entities, but he also said that a
plucked hair had cells on its
surface, within which there was
DNA Thus hair obtained by
pulling yielded material from
which DNA profiles could be
prepared.

The tact that tbe obtaining, if
possible, of such a profile was the
object far which the sample was
sought did not result in the sample

not being a ■'sample of hair. Their
Lordships, therefore, agreed with
the trial judge’s ruling on iliac
issue.

Mr Justice Mantel! had gone on
to make it dear that if he was
wrong on that point he would have
exercised his discretion under sec¬
tion 78 of the 1984 Act not to
orcludefoe evidence chained from
foe hair extracted without consent.

It had to be remembered that foe
fairness of the proceedings in¬
volved both fairness to foe accused
person and fairness to foe public
good, as represented by the
Crown.

Here, the evidence which was
sought to be adduced of the DNA
profile obtained from the hair
roots and sheaths plucked from foe
appellants head was very strong
evidence that he had had sexual
intercourse with the victim.

If sections 63 and 65 did not
authorise the taking of the sample
upon which that evidence was
based, then in law there had been
an assault an the appellant.

Nevertheless, in their Lordships'
view, that did not in any way cast
doubt upon the accuracy or
strength of the evidence. Evidence
of that kind differed from, for
example, a disputed confession,
where the truth of the confession
might well itself be in issue.

Thus their Lordships agreed
that even if the taking of the
sample of hair was not authorised,
nevertheless the evidence which it
provided and which resulted frum
it should properly have been
admitted in evidence.

All the grounds of appeal faffed.

and others against the British Coal
Corporation for loss caused by
setting royalties and buying coal at
prices that were contrary to articles

Treaty.

HIS LORDSHIP said where
there was no Commission derision
establishing that there had been an

Barclays said: “We are de¬
termined to build on tiie
achieved in the first

potential and we believe these

Mystery
as fund
manager
resigns

By Jon Ashworth

THE manager of one of Brit¬
ain's most controversial invest¬
ment funds has resigned after
a breach of internal rales.

Daniel S heard, who ran
Hypo Foreign & Colonial's
£500 million Higher Income
Plan, resigned on Friday, and
the firm has taken the unusu¬
al step of contacting brokers
to tell them this. Mr Sheard.
in his late twenties, joined the
firm in 1990. The matter may
be taken up by the Investment
Management Regulatory
Organisation (Imro), which
can discipline registered

individuals.

Simon James. F&C manag¬
ing director, has written to
stockbrokers and other inter¬
mediaries. telling them that
John Monckton. bead of fixed
interest, is now responsible
for the fund. He writes: "Un¬
fortunately, Daniel Sheard

... committed a breach of
well-established procedures
and as a result Daniel has
resigned. The breach is a
matter between employer and
employee, but I can assure
you that it was in no way
connected with any aspect of
the Higher Income Plan.”

In spite of that assurance,
the abrupt departure may
alarm investors, many of
them elderly, who have put
£500 million in the Higher
Income Plan, hired by the
prospect of high yields. It also
threatens to cast a shadow
over F&C investment trust re¬
sults, to be issued tomorrow.

Mr Sheard was unavailable
for comment yesterday. Mr
James would not elaborate, but
said that there had been “no
fingers in the tifi”. He said: “No
investors in any of our funds
have been disadvantaged by
anything he did. Daniel is a
very talented guy and we were
sad to see him go."

The plan, which has 76.000
investors, relies on derivatives
for its. high promised returns,
and in April cut its yield from
10 per cent to 9 per cenL

CU buys Victoire for £1.5bn

:ByNbtoBennett'

SOdETE Gta£rale,the lead¬
ing French bank, is increasing
its stake in Ctonunerdal Union

to 6 , per cent as part of the

British - insurance *. group*
fundraising efforts to buy

Groupe Victoire for 125 bjUkm
francs (£L5 trillion). SocGen
said it would-also begin talk¬
ing to CU about launching a
joint venture in tiie .French

pensions and iifei assurance

market when its acquisition of

the French insurance com-

pany is completed
Co mmerc ial Union-yester¬
day confirmed that it was
going ahead< until its acquteU
tion of; Victoire freon Groupe

Suez. The deal is thought to be

the largestever acquisition of
a French company by a British

b usiness, and means that in

future almost a third of CU*

premium. income will come
from Trance.

To fund the deal, CU is
making a £322.xmflion rights
issue, its second since the start
of last year, ft is affcrmg me
share for every eight held, at
475p each. CU is also seflmg
20-8 minion shares to SocGen

to raise a further £111 nnUton.

This : .wiD double SocGen*
present 3 per cent stake. CU is

Pfeter Ward, CU* executive director, left and John Carter

funding the rest of the deal

from borrowings and its own

internal resources. This will

increase the group* debt fay

almost £800 million.

Groupe Victoire is cate of
Prance* largest insurance
groups, with two main sobskl-

iaries. Abeille Vie is the coun¬

try* six&4argest life assurer,
with a profit of Fr428 million

last year and 5 per cent of the
market. Abeflte Assurances is

France* derenth-bi^est gen¬

eral insurer and wrote premi¬
ums worth Fr&7 billion in
1993. though it suffered an
underwriting loss of Fr680
million.

John Carter. CU* chief
executive, said tiie acquisition
fitted with the group* goals erf

reducing the volatility of its

results py concentrating cm life

business and of expanding its
European operations. He
warned shareholders that the

deal would dilute CU* earn¬

ing; this year and next but
promised improvement from
1996.

The acquisition of Victoire

will give CU the opportunity

to jxBh into the French private

pensions market if this is
opened up. as expected, by
legislation next year. Yester¬

day, Patrick Pagni, SocGen*
general manager in London.

said his bank and CU were

likely to discuss a joint venture

in this area.

Groupe Suez has extracted a
favourable deal for itself by
insisting that its remaining life

assurance arm takes 50 per

cent of new premiums paid

into AFER. Victoire* main life

assurance fund.

Along with details of the
deal, CU revealed that its pre¬
tax profits for the first half of
the year soared by 174 per

cent, to £181 million. The
i is increasing its interim
' 5 per cent to

1025p. _

Thomson

acquires

Country

Holidays

By Marianne Curphey

TRAVEL REPORTER

THOMSON Travel
Group, Britain’s leading
package tour operator, has
acquired Country Holi¬
days Group, the UK holi¬
day lettings company, for
£34 million.

The purchase was an¬
nounced yesterday by 3i.
the lead institutional in¬
vestor in Country Holi¬
days with a 38 per cent
interest It puts Thomson
at the helm of the largest
holiday cottage company
in Britain. Thomson al¬
ready owns Britannia Air¬
ways. the charter airline.
Thomson Tour Operators
the package holiday com¬
pany. and Lunn Poly, the
travel agency, through
which it is likely to sell the
cottage products.

Country Holidays of
Earby, Lancashire, has
6,000 properties on its
books Previously, it has
sold more than 100,000
letting weeks to about
350,000 holidaymakers.

The move comes as
Thomson battles with
Airtours, its rival for early
bookings in die overseas
market Airtours ventured
into the UK cottage holi¬
day market several years
ago. but later wound down
its business.

Paul Brett, chairman
and chief executive of
Thomson Travel Group,
said Thomson was buying
into a company with 15
years of successful trading.
He added.- “The UK mar¬
ket is of great interest to
us.” He said it was an area
of growth Chat was ex¬
panding more rapidly
than the hotel market
la die year to October
1993. Marrhigh Ltd. par¬
ent company of Country
Holidays, earned profits of
£2.1 million before tax,
rising from £492.000 in the
previous 12 months.

Nelson Robertson, chief executive, said the insurance group had built further on last year's significant recovery

UK’s visible trade deficit
widens to £1.03bn

By Janet Bush, economics correspondent

BRITAIN’S visible trade defi¬
cit widened to £1.03 billion in
May from £770 million in
April but the Central Statisti¬
cal Office said that it still
believes that the trade gap is
on a gently narrowing trend.

The value of exports de¬
clined by around 1 per cent
while the value of imports rose
by 1 5 per cent in May. There
was a slightly larger fall in
export volumes than import
volumes. Underlying export
volumes fell by 25 percent in
May while import volumes
fell by 2 per cent

Britain's trade deficit with
Europe widened to £377 mil¬
lion from £304 million in
April, reflecting record levels
of imports.

The CSO said that more than
half of the growth in imports
from the European Union
came from Germany, with
about half of the growth of
exports to the EU going to
Italy, the Irish Republic and
Spain.

Britain’s deficit with
Germany widened to £471
million in May from £418
million in April.

However, a look at longer-
run movements shows that
export volumes are still out¬
stripping import volumes. In
the three months to May,
underlying export volumes —
excluding oil and erratics such
as shipments of precious
stones and aircraft — rose by
35 per cent, 10 per cent higher

than a year earlier. By com¬
parison, underlying import
volumes rose by 15 per cent in
the three-month period, an
increase of 85 per cent from a
year ago.

The deficit, excluding oil
and erratics, widened a little
in May to £15 billion from
£1.44 billion in April. City
analysts said that May's dete¬
rioration was largely due to
erratic items.

In May. the erratics surplus
fell sharply to £67 million
from £258 million in April
owing to declines in surpluses
on both pretious stones and
aircraft.

Meanwhile. Britain's trade
performance continued to be
helped by the effect of near-

Commercial union

record oil production from the
North Sea. which means that
less is being imported from
abroad and more exported.
The Central Statistical Office
said that the volume of oil
exports in the three months to
May was the highest since
November, 1987.

The May trade figures were
in line with City forecasts and
had no effect on sentiment in.
the financial markets.

There was little reaction to
the final results of the Central
Statistical Office's investiga¬
tion into suspected flaws in
the new Europe-wide Intrastat
system of collecting trade
data.

In May. the CSO revised up
the 1993 trade deficit to £13.7
billion from £13.4 billion pre¬
viously reported. Yesterday,
the CSO revised it back down
to £132 billion.

General
Accident
profits
up by 62%

By Neil Bennett

MILDER weather and rising
premium rates allowed Gen¬
eral Accident, the Perth insur¬
ance group, to boost profits by
62 per cent in the first half of
the year to £203 million.

The plunge in world bond
markets this year, however,
knocked the value of the
group's investment portfolio,
and its net asset value , has
fallen by 19 per cent since the
stan of the year to 44Jp per
share. GA*s profit recovery
was also dogged by worsening
losses at its estate agency
business and a deterioration
in its Canadian subsidiary.

Nevertheless, the profit re¬
covery prompted GA to in¬
crease its half year dividend
by 4 per cent to 10-lp. Nelson
Robertson, the group’s chief
executive, said tbe group had
built further on last year’s
significant recovery.

The rapid growth in profits
was led by the main British
subsidiary. It increased under¬
writing profits to £935 million
(£35 million), and almost all
the group’s personal and com¬
mercial lines improved be¬
cause of higher premiums and
fewer weather damage claims.

Despite the recovery in Brit¬
ain, General Accident was still
unable to report an overall
underwriting profit for the
first half — it made a £44.9
million loss. This compares
however with a £125 million
loss last time. The group did
however make an underwrit¬
ing profit of £15 million in the
second quarter.

Canada was GA's worst
performing territory, where
underwriting losses deepened
from £6.9 million to £36.7
million. This was partially
offset by a £5 milli on fell in US
-underwriting losses.

GA’s estate agency chain
increased its losses by
£800,000 to £53 million. The
group said there had been
some improvement in the sec¬
ond quarter but the housing
market remained difficult
In its life Business, GA said
it was beating the market
trend by increasing new annu¬
al premiums by 5 per cent to
£273 million, life p ro fi ts rase
24 per cent to £25.9 million.

Funeral pyre
of the vanities

□ THE Takeover Panel’s top
brass, ted by Sir David Calcutt,
will convene at 10am today to
bear Laewen’s appeal, brought
fay adviser Barings, that Service
Corporation International's
grand slam bid of £112 million
tor funeral enterprise Great
Southern should be cremated
over the fires of Rule 322 of the

vmimfm

City code. SCIS little problem,
namely that last week’s press
release foiled to cany the stan¬
dard rider that the Imar aspect
of bid Mark IT of 680p was
subject to the appearance of a
counter bidder, bas been
embarrassingly well aired.
Loewen. in essence, is arguing
that the panel should stick to the
letter of the code. Much to the
Canadian combine's chagrin, the
panel executive has chosen to
focus on the spirit.

Key factor m the panel exec¬
utive's ruling is the belief that the
absence of the crucial caveat in
the Stock Exchange release —
albeit included in the official
offer document published the
following day — was a genuine
error. If the panel thought other¬

wise. namely that SCI’s camp
attempted to suck in Great
Southern stock by way of ini¬
tially exaggerating the finality of
its offer, the feet of certain
denizens of Schroders would still
beheading skyward.

SCI, led by Texan financier
William HeiligbrodL has guar¬
anteed that shareholders who
sold Great Southern stock in the
wake of the unqualified press
release will receive the 95p-a-
share difference between bid
Mark 11 and bid Mark III: a
chunk of compensation which
tots up to some £3.7 million. This
will initially be funded out of
SCI’s coffers but a Texan oil well
can safely be bet against a
funeral casket that replenish¬
ment will flow from Schroders
and Iinklaters&Paines who will
be hit where it hurts: in their fees,
for starters. Joint adviser Smith
& Williamson appears a useful
step removed from the said
release, with Cazenove, presum¬
ably, out in the tall grass.

The panel executive's go ahead
for SCI inevitably takes account
of the feet that no body of
shareholders will be dis¬
advantaged — other than per¬

haps Loewen’s. Had it blocked
SCI, terms of 775p would have
gone out of the window, along
with the 95p top up. An official
acknowledgement of culpability
from SCl's advisers would have
done no harm — particular}' to
their US dienL. Nor would
Loewen have suffered from a
public pronouncement of its
precise intentions. Yesterday's
46p rise in Great Southern's
quote to 755p reflects expecta¬
tions that the full panel will back
its executive. That said. Barings
is clearly intent cm going to the
wire. Spare a thought for SCI
and Loewen explaining City
machinations to colleagues
across the pond.

Parked in
neutral

□ THE Great Southern drama
may be drawing to a conclusion
but silence surrounds the City's
largest mooted bid. The ap¬
proach to National Car Parks,
which could lead to an offer
worth anything up to £1 billion,
is apparently stranded with the
engine running in the basement

of one of NCFs unlovely multi¬
storey car parks. .

Shares in NCP are dealt, if
unenthusiastically, under rule
535. The last bid situation involv¬
ing a 535 stock, the tussle over
The Independent* generated a
deal more heal and light, but
that’s newspapers for you.
Information from NCP has been
sparse 10 the point of invisibility.
The plan appears to be to give a
posse of institutions led by the
Pro a safe, cash-generative utility
play with 70 per cent of the
private car parking market, and
the two founders, now at or
beyond normal retirement age, a
graceful exit.

But the affair has become
becalmed with the competition
authorities. The Office of Fair
Trading cannot quite enunciate
why iL should be involved in
any sale of a near-monopoly,
whose build-up it has so far
been powerless to limit, to new
owners with no existing
involvement in that business.
But it rather thinks it should be.
and the £70 million rule, which
says the sale of assets worth
that or more must trigger an
investigation, is being wheeled
into play.

The bidders, unwilling to be¬
come thus entangled, are hold¬
ing off until the position becomes
dearer. The company remains in
bid mode. Watch this parking
space.

US relaxes stance on admitting China to world trade body

AMERICA appears to have accepted
the pace al which China is opening its
economy. to competition. This In¬
creases Peking’s chances of becoming
a founder-member of the World Trade
Organisation, which wQl succeed the
General Agreement on Tariffs and
Trade(Cofin Narbrongh writes).

The shift in stance coincides with a

Chinese announcement yesterday of a
record number of patents filed in
China. Peking is evidently stepping up
its campaign to persuade the US that it
is cracking down on its computer
software and other intellectual proper¬
ty pirates. American industry esti¬
mates that Chinese software pirates
cost it about $600 million last year.

China was a founder-member of
Gatt in the 1940s. but pulled out of the
free trade organisation after the com¬
munists took power. The present
Chinese government has declared its
intention to sign up to the system of
multilateral trading rules when the
World Trade Organisation is estab¬
lished. The target start-up dale is next

January. Winston Lord, the US assis¬
tant secretary of state for East Asia
and Pacific affairs, speaking in Hong
Kong yesterday, said China could be
given a transition period before hav¬
ing to meet some conditions of
membership in the world trade body.
“We staunchly support [China’s| ad¬
mission to Gatt,” be said.

TRADING was cautious after
attempts at an early rally
were shortlived. Futures were
weaker and gilts, depressed
as bond markets turned sour
amid fears of higher Ameri¬
can interest rates next week,
took the edge off the recent
positive run.

Shares were marked lower,
but the announcement that
the UK’s global trade deficit
had widened to more than El
billion in May had little
impact. An uncertain start on
Wail Street did little to bolster
sentiment in London, al¬
though there was evidence of
late buying on optimism
about the economic outlook.

reshaping British Rail for sale is not so

Forthe firstlesson of the strike i< that

creases, rather than dimmigh^ , the
power ofthe rail unions to inflict chaos-
In the old days, when a group of
railway workers went an strike, the
cost was borne by a monolithic British
Rail which would weigh its interest in
petting a return to work against the
impact an its busings as a whole.

Now, Raihradrt penalty for failing
to provide a signalling service is simply

staff for sitting idle. The division of BR
into about 30 train operating com¬
panies fragments the impact of the
signallers' action. But frustrated fran- .
cmse managers are becoming mare
and more open about shortcomings of
the privatisation regime.

Since April 3, these people have been
tryjng to build distinct identities for the
regional train businesses they now
run. With considerable support from
staff, they have sought to improve-.

Many travellers may be permanently lost to the railway after the strikes

loyally. That effort has been under¬
mined fay die dispute:

Customers are sophisticated. They
blame not only die RMT but also
Raikrack and the Government's med¬
dling. Rightfy so. says Roger R*rd,
business editor of Modem Railways. ~
"Hus dilute would never have hap- .
petted if Railtrack had not insisted in-
taking over the taBs," he says.,

Some regional rail chub are plan¬
ning legal moves against Railtrack to
recover lost revenue. Chris Green, the
managing director of ScotRail, which ~
runs train services north of the border,
says: “We wfll certainly be pursuing .
Rafltradc for compensation.” Others
wfll simply withhold trade access
payments for shrike days. - '

The scale of damage is already
considerable. ScotRail reckons it loses
E30CUXJ0 in fare revenue every strike
day. South West Trains, whidr carries
300,000 commuters a day into
London's Waterloo station, rays it loses
more than £500.000 each strike day.
And East Coast Trains, which runs
high-speed services from London to
Edinburgh, reckons it Loses E500.000
every day there is disruption, and
suffers diminished, revenue during
“normal" working.

Overall the eight strikes have proba¬
bly cost British Rail more than £100
raflHan. The signallers would have
settled for a fraction of that. Bui any

simple strike-day tally underestimates
the impact of the dispute cm the
-railway.,

ScotRail derives twcHhirds of its
£300 miffimi a year revenue from
subsidies. To make up the balance, it
relies heavily on summer tourist
traffic, particularly job routes such as
’file scenic West Highland Line. This
year, that traffic has been seveify
disrupted. On ihe East Coast line,
leisure travellers account for more than
half the total during the summer

months. Many have. - . _

switched to buses,
planes, or cars in¬
stead. Their return
fares, cm . non-strike
days, will also be
lost .

Some of these dis¬
couraged would-be
passengers will not
return to the railway

when the dispute is _

over. Mr Gteen ex¬
pects that 2 per cent of his customers
will not return, implying that therewill
be about a million fewer passenger
journeys a year an his network alone.
He estimates that it will take two years
for passenger numbers to recover from
the impact of an eight-week dispute.
The signallers’ strikes are now in their
ninth week.

Peter Fields, the managing director
of South West Trains, says investment
is urgently needed in Rail crack faefli-

What managers will

a year’s profit in
just a few weeks?

ties to support services, “I just don’t see
where they are going to get the money
from when this dispute has cost than
and us many millions of pounds."

Increasingly, he says, the disruption
threatens the Government's rail .priva¬
tisation plans. If Rahtrack’s credibility
and cash are being eroded, so is the
valueof the train operating companies.
Whai manager will want to take over a
tram operating franchise when a
dispute over which he has no control
can cost his business a year's profit in

l _ just a few weeks? Mr

Fields c on cedes that
the value erf each
franchise “must be
depreciated" fay the
damage the dispute
hay caused.

Only a couple of
months ago, the idea
that Railtrack could
be sold off before the

_ election was gaining

ground. That notion
must now be dead. Fbr while the strike
distracted attention, Jonathan Swift,
the rail: regulator, published two
consultation documents that ques¬
tioned both the returns Railtrack
should command and the notion of
running rival trains over a single track.

The value of Rafltrackls assets,
supposedly about E6 billion, is a
Treasury-inspired fiction. To a busi¬
nessman. assets are worth what they
can earn. Having put an arbitrary

number on their value, the Treasury is
demanding that Rail track's real rate of
return should rise from 5.1 per cent to S
per cent in just three years. Given the
recent judgements of regulators about
comparable returns in gas and water,
SI already looks over-generous.

At the same time, the railways
depend on a government subsidy of
more than £1 billion a year to make
ends meet Unless the Treasury is to
break one of its dearest traditions,
there can be no guarantee that subsi¬
dies will continue at a rate sufficient to
ensure Rail track’s profitability in the
fufttre.

Moreover, would-be investors wD
want to see what if any, compensation
Railtrack is obliged to pay train
operators as a result of the strikes.
Railtrack must now be too big a risk for
the private sector to swallow.

With any hope of selling Railtrack
blocked pending a rethink, the Govern¬
ment is likely to concentrate its sales
efforts on other pans of the business.
At the front of the queue for disposal
are the train and track maintenance
operations. Afflicted by serious overca¬
pacity, they will have to be sold with
longterm contracts to give them any
value.

Next wfll be the three rolling-stock
leasing companies, which wfll own the
trains and hire them to train operators.
With too many old and inflexible
trains, here too, values are likely to be
arbitrary.

Finally, the Government hopes to let
the first tranche of six franchises by the
end of next year, and its target is to
have 51 per cent of the network, by
value, in the private sector by April 1,
1996.

As Mr Fields has made plain, there
is now little prospect of letting those
franchises on schedule, at the kind of
price government advisers imagined.
Franchise bidders will insist on bring
compensated for disruption beyond
their control. Otherwise, they would
risk early bankruptcy.

They will also be asking some hard
questions about the outlook for passen¬
ger numbers, especially in the South of
England, where rail strikes have not
been accompanied by the road conges¬
tion many would have expected.

The battle between die RMT and
Railtrack has all the hallmarks of a
last-ditch struggle between the union
and the forces of modernisation. If
rail’s overhaul is true to form in other
industries, a settlement will be fol¬
lowed by hefty labour-shedding and
much-improved earnings, responsi¬
bility and flexibility for those who
remain.

But this wfll not solve the shortcom¬
ings of die privatisation framework
and the subsidy regime: nor will it
rectify the investment deficiencies.

How much of the industry remains
in government hands by the not
election is now an open question. What
would Labour do with a half-privatised
network, should it win? Provided that
Rafltradc remains in the public scoot.
it need not do much. The European
Community is obliging members to
separate accounting of track and travel
operations. Restoring vertical integra¬
tion is not an option.

The franchises, whether public or
private, correspond to the operating
structure envisaged under British
Rail's Organising For Quality regime,
described by Mr Ford as “the best
railway we never had".

Labour could simply stop the clock
on ownership changes and let British
Rafl and private sector franchises
compete to show which can provide the
best services. Evolution could replace
revolution.

Given the flaws unveiled by the
strikers and Mr Swift that might be
the best strategy for the Government
too. as election day approaches. Or Mr
Adleys words may come to haunt
them-

dealer firm to take off the
bank’s hands, cut-price, a toad
of unsold commemorative

coins minted last year to mark
the 150th anniversary of the
birth of Edvard Grieg, Nor¬
way’s national composer. To
raise funds for the arts, they
were priced at Z880 kroner
(£270), almost double face val¬
ue. Despite a run of only
12.000, the bank sold justa few
coins, blaming competition
from issues for.the LiJ-
lehammer Winter Olympics.
After earnest Ibsenlike delib¬
eration, the bank's directors
decided last week that they
could not unload the coins at a

rebate, as that would under¬
mine its credibility. Bright

Barclays bitten

MORE woes for Barclays
Bank. Those friendly types at
the Barclays Group Staff
Union are threatening to
squeeze a five-fold increase in
legal compensation out of file
bank for personal injuries suf¬
fered by staff. The BGSU
thinks a new legal assistance
scheme backed by Russell
Jones & Walker, a law firm,
will pave the way for E2.7 mil¬
lion in payouts, compared
with £600,000 in the last fi¬
nancial year. “We will fund
them all the way. provided
they are not total no-hope
cases,” says Paul Snowball,
general secretary of the
BGSU, which has 50,000
members. Several thousand of
them are thought to be finan¬
cial advisers for Barclays life.
Should help with all those feet
shut in doors and attacks by
fierce dogs.

TEMPUS

Tinker Taylor

BEFORE Martin Taylor is canonized for the
salvation of Barclays, it is worth noting that
the bank's profit recovery is not as miraculous
as it first appears. AU the improvement and
more came from an inevitable fall in bad debt
provisions. Like its rivals, Barclays actually
suffered an S per cent fall in underlying
profits, owing to lacklustre loan demand in
Britain and a stump in dealing profits ai
B2W. And while the group reduced expenses
by 10 per cent, that is only because it tackled
its cost base more slowly than its peers.

Underlying the figures, however, there are
signs that Mr Taylor's tinkering with his new
charge is have a fundamental effect on its
balance sheet- In the past year, the group's
weighted-risk assets have fallen by almost £13
billion. or 12 per cent. Even the weakest loan
demand could not account for such rapid

shrinkage, instead. Barclays is making good
a promise to clear out low-margin assets and
free its balance sheet. A by-product of this is
that the core capital ratio has shot to 7 per
cent, confounding fears that Barclays would
be short of capital as loan demand recovered.

Shareholders should welcome Barclays’
shrinking asset book on two counts. First,
even the lowest margin corporate loan carries
some risk, as lenders discovered during the
recession. Less risk should mean lower bad
debts in the nexi downturn. Second, with a
smaller asset base, Barclays will need less of
its retained earnings to add to capita] ami be
able to distribute more as dividend By next
year, it could even have restored hs payout to
where it was before the 1992 cul That makes
the shares look cheap, although the underly¬
ing earnings outlook is so dull.

Holliday

Chemical

THE market appears to have
forgiven Holliday Chemical
for its hiccough in Spain and
rights issue in March. Yester¬
day’s interim figures showed
good underlying profits
growth after adjusting for
acquisitions and the El mil¬
lion benefit of exchange rates
as the company takes costs
out and improves the margin.

The Spanish operations are
still suffering from low vol¬
umes and prices but the com¬
pany is making progress in
reducing costs by using recov¬
ered materials, such as waste
copper from circuit boards, in
its manufacturing process.

After a setback in hs first
year. Holliday should be
back on track for 15p or more
in earnings for the full year.
Stripping out the £1.7 million
book from Redritfs dyes

business, acquired in April,
Holliday’s growth came
from managing the margin
better. The company claims
more exciting prospects in
making active ingredients
for generic drug manufactur¬
ers and boasts a contract to
produce ranitidine for Ciba-
Geigy when Glaxo’s Zantac
patent runs out in 1995. This
may be threatened by litiga¬

tion from Glaxo, but the
market for generic drugs is
growing, and Holliday has
other partnerships brewing.
Assuming Holliday can keep
earnings growing at 15 per
cent per annum, a multiple
of 14 times 1995 earnings is
reasonable, but the company
is acquisitive, and investors
should be prepared fbr fur¬
ther share issues.

Coffee

WHEN markets move fast in
thin volume, brokers talk of
technical corrections and oth¬
er such gobbledegoak. The
recent fall in the coffee price is
being blamed on the shape of
lines on charts, hot weather
and, no doubt, a conjunction
of the planets. A more likely
explanation is the behaviour
of speculative funds. These
have been taking positions in
the whole gamut of commod¬
ities from aluminium to oil.
chasing prices up in anticipa¬
tion of renewed demand as
Western economies pick up.

Coffee, however, is differ¬
ent When the quota system
collapsed in J989. coffee prices
plunged from about 120 cents
a pound to lows of 45 cents in
August 1992, causing margin¬
al producers in Latin America
to quit die market in favour of
illegal cash crops that fetch
higher prices. Production fell
from 100 million bags in 1991-
92 to 88 million in 1993-94, and
hedge funds correctly pre¬
dicted at the start of titis year
that market forces would play
their part in aprice correction.
The hands could not predict
two sharp frosts in June
which Brazil — as an interest¬

ed party — said would reduce
the crop by 10 million fangs.
That sent the price soaring
above 200 cents. But demand
is still relatively flat whatever
the weather forecast, and
coffee roasters prefer to sit on
their hands rather than buy
at these prices, waiting for
the hype to die down. Specu¬
lators are now selling their
long positions, causing a col¬
lapse to 183 cents. Rather
than predict the coffee price,
the smart money is guessing
the next commodity play.
That after all is what the
highly geared commodity
markets are all about and it
is refreshing to witness such
action when many of the
markets have been so dufl
throughout much of the
world recession.

Upton &
Southern

Jeffrey Gould, chief executive
of Upton & Southern, prom¬
ised that the acquisition of
the Reject Shop would have a
significant impact on the
group's performance and he
has been proved horribly
right, although perhaps not
in the way he intended. Al¬

though Mr Gould revitalised
Upton, turning round the Re¬
ject Shop was always going to
be more of a challenge. The
chain has only 31 stores but
managed to make a loss of
£2.4 million in the 28 weeks to
October 3, and without Up¬
ton’s intervention would
probably have gone under.

The company looked in a
dire state when Upton ac¬
quired it but now it emerges
that things were even worse
than thought Margins told
stocks were not what the pur¬
chasers had been led to be¬
lieve. The d£b£de has left
Upton with a cash hole of
£2.75 million, impending
losses, possible court action
and in need of a £3.5 million
to £4 million rights issue to
plug the hole. Where die £45
million of funds raised at the
time of the acquisition have
gone, shareholders can only
wonder. It is all a heavy bur¬
den for a company with a
market capitalisation of only
£9 million and which is just
about breaking even.

Investors looking for a re¬
covery story in the retail sec¬
tor should reject this sorry
sight and shop elsewhere.

Compulsory membership of Chambers not wanted in UK

From the Executive Director.
The Association of British
Chambers of Commerce
Sir. British Chambers of Com¬
merce not surprisingly sup¬
port your call for “More
powerful Chambers, please"
(Pennington. August 5).

What we do not want is any
attempt to impose any of the
public law systems that pre¬
vail in Europe, including that
of Germany. Quite apart from
the fact that these systems are
under same criticism from
businesses in their respective
countries for their perceived
rigidity and bureaucracy.

there is an understandable
antipathy in this country to
compulsory membership of
organisations, especially those
which are anything less than
totally accountable to the busi¬
ness community.

There is a surge of activity
up and down the country
among Chambers, and be¬
tween Chambers. Tecs. Busi¬
ness Links and others,
pointing to the development of
new forms of integrated and
powerful business support
bodies at local level.

We strongly believe that an
appropriate form of unified

local body should be accorded
statutory recognition and sus¬
tained government support.
Such a body would respond to
the needs of its local business
community, be owned by and
accountable to it and not
slavishly follow the manda¬
tory membership model of the
continental public law
systems.

Yours faithfully.

Executive Director.

Conclusions about
competitiveness

From Mr John Greenhough
Sir, The CBI wants the
Government to improve com¬
petitiveness by providing busi¬
ness with the right conditions
and regulatory framework.
The priorities of the loD range
from education and further
privatisation to taxation, al¬
though 70 per cent in a recent
poll either haven’t heard of, or

weren't interested in, the Com¬
petitiveness White Paper!

Since the White Paper. I
have been asking senior exec¬
utives what they think compet¬
itiveness is — they say it's
mainly about reducing unit
costs. So. are we all a little
confused?

The White Paper actually
comes to a sound conclusion,
that is, to improve competi¬
tiveness companies must learn
to produce the right products/
services, at the right price, at

Lloyd’s shameless to call in debt collectors

From the Chairman.

Names Defence Association
Sir, The members of - the
Names Defence Association
are like other embattled and
worried Lloyd's names. They
are honourable people who
wfll meet their legal and
contractual obligations and
who will pay their legal debts
to the limit of their abilities.

Material breaches of con¬
tracts can and have been made
by persons at Lloyd's other
than Names. Before Lloyd's
can expect to collect its debts, it
will have to prove them in
court There is considerable
reason now to believe that it

will be unable to do so.

Calling in external debt
collectors will accomplish
nothing. It is a callous and
shameless act to terrify thou¬
sands of scared and innocent
victims. It is a personally
demeaning gesture by Mr
David Rowland, the Chair¬
man of Lloyd's, and it will
rebound to the detriment of
that once great institution.
Yours faithfully,

J. L. FINLAY,

Chairman, .

the right time — but they do
not offer a readily applicable
solution.

I have one. This conclusion
is (dare 1 say it?) the “textbook”
definition of marketing man¬
agement (which will come as a
surprise to all those that
thought marketing was pro¬
motion!). It is a business
discipline whose focus is upon
understanding what makes
customers happy, and trans¬
lating this information into
profitable opportunities for
the company.

But the ability to apply
marketing principles ana
techniques are not inbred
management characteristics.
It is a professional discipline
which requires as much train¬
ing and expertise as a doctor—
and die result is equally
worthwhile.

Those that are profiting
from this will be smiling—the
rest will be pouring them¬
selves another coffee.

Yours faithfully.

Rationalising their

rieaccessioning means

Time to liberate

Can the Edinburgh
Festival free
Beethoven from the
curse of familiarity?
Richard Morrison
certainly hopes so

D oes Beethoven really
need rescuing, rehabili¬
tating, reappraising, or
any of those other verbs
beginning with “re” that are gener¬
ally associated with the dusting-
down of third-class poets by
academics on the make? Surely not
A composer whose music is never
out of season and whose genius is
beyond dispute hardly needs a
special parade.

Which is why, when Beethoven
was announced as the main musical
theme of this year's Edinburgh
Festival. 1 initially felt cheated. True,
the parade is to be impressive: the
nine symphonies, five piano concer¬
tos, Fidelio in every shape and form,
plus many quartets and sonatas —
all interpreted by same of the best in
the Beethoven business. But a
festival with Edinburgh's aspira¬
tions should be setting a radical
agenda, 1 thought, not wheeling out
repertoire that can be heard on a wet

Tuesday night in Croydon.

Then I thought again. For if
Beethoven is not exactly considered
passC, he is certainly taken for
granted. We hear his music but no
longer listen. The colossal force that
shook the musical firmament is now
just one more faded pattern in die
aural wallpaper. The Eroica's tem¬
pestuous scherzo is found enhanc¬
ing the ambience of upmarket
bookshops. The Ninth's mighty
finale, forced crudely into a fake
cadence, is pressed into service as
the anthem for some soulless Euro
super-state. Beethoven has been not
so much tamed as maimed by over-
familiarity. Perhaps he needs that
rehabilitation after alL Or rather,
perhaps we do.

To some extent this fossilisation
has happened to all tire great
classical composers. The shocking
sound of yesterday is the easy
listening of tomorrow. But there are
specific reasons why Beethoven stirs
us far less than he did our grandpar¬
ents. They do not reflect well upon
what passes for musical life and
thought in our post-intellectual age.

No composer fits so badly into the
“instant culture" ethos currently
being imposed on the classical
music business. Yes, you can re¬
spond in a generalised, emotional
way to Beethoven’s unbridled pow¬
er, even in a three-minute segment
heard between traffic reports on
Classic FM. But unless the listener
has some notion of the musical rules
against which Beethoven was rebel¬
ling, the sheer audacity of the
rebellion will never be folly under¬
stood. This, however, is a problem
for a yobbish age that counts a
knowledge of music history or
grammar as a sure symptom of that
dreaded disease, “elitism".

A still greater problem is Beetho¬
ven’s total refusal to compromise.
We simply cannot relate to it Ours
is, by and large, an age of fudge.
Our most radical young Turks —
the Damien Hirsts, the Kurt
Cobains, the Mark-Anthony Turn-
ages, the Stephen Daldrys — may
huff and puff with impressive
fervour, but they nevertheless seem
to work comfortably within the
same old, decrepit institutions: the
art-dealer network, the record in¬
dustry. the opera house, the West
End. Nowadays, artists have no
stomach for tearing down the cul¬
tural temples of their fathers: cer¬
tainly not if it involves biting the
hand that feeds.

Little wonder that we find it hard
to comprehend the fearsome icono¬
clast who could write this to his

royal patron: “Whatyou are, you are
by chance, by birth. What 1 am, 1 am
by myself. There have been, there
will be, thousands of princes. There
is only one Beethoven." That letter
cost Beethoven his salary. Neverthe¬
less, he wrote h. As Goethe sighed:
"Beethoven is unfortunately an un¬
ruly personality, who is certainly
not wrong in finding the world
detestable, but who, nonetheless,
does not make it any more pleasant
either for himself or for anyone
else."

In fact. Beethoven was standing
up for “artists’ rights” in an era that
barely recognised such a thing as an
artist, let alone his rights. The
trouble is that. 200 years later, the
status of the artist is hardly any
more secure than Beethoven left it
indeed. in our narrowly utilitarian
dimaw, it seems that almost noth¬
ing gets performed unless a sponsor
has something to sell. The composer
is back in the servants' quarters.
Beethoven'S fight was for nothing.

Allied to his un c o m promising
altitude was something else to
which the modem world, does not
easily respond: his sense of righ¬

teousness. He considered Don
Giovanni to be immoral, while his
own opera, Fidelio, is a hymn to
conjugal fidelity written by a man
who never married and who had
great difficulty establishing amica¬
ble relationships with anybody.

Nevertheless. Fidelio makes a
strong, unambiguous statement, as
ail Beethoven's pieces da And this,
curiously enough, is exactly what
perturbs our norejudgmental age.
Richard Goode, the specialist Bee¬
thoven pianist who will be playing
at Edinburgh, notes a crucial con¬
trast between Beethoven and Mo¬
zart in this respect “Mozart has
become the central composer in our
lives, partly because Beethoven's
personality is so bound up with
heroic conoepts of die self, of human
freedom, of liberation from aggres¬
sion. That is not in tune with our
sceptical period — whereas Mozart
seems much more various: a play of
different points of view."

Which brings us to the nub of our
Beethoven problem. Beethoven was
mostly in atrocious health. His
living conditions were squalid even
by the gruesome standards of early

19th-century cities, and his winking
methods had none of Mozart’s
apparently flawless flow. “Mid.
impatient strokes, a chaotic mixture
of motifs begun and discarded in a
creative fury,” is how Stefan Zweig
memorably described Beethoven’s
manuscripts. Yet in the one titing;
that counted, the finished composi¬
tions, he was absolutely in control.
His deafness paradoxically only
intensified his power. "The more he
lost connection with the outer world,
the dearer was his inward vision,”
Wagner noted.

A nd this is what worries us
the most Beethoven is too
clear-cut, too full of his
own power, too much in
control for modem tastes. With his
start in life; he should have been a
disadvantaged, pitiable and self-
pitying loser; then we would have
empathised with him. In fact, he
reinvented himself as the hero of his
own music. He gives us solutions,
whereas we want to anguish over
intractable problems. Thai is why
we love Mahler.

To make matters worse, certain

Beethoven pieces have almost be¬
came dicb6s of heroic state men t
During the war, the Fifth Sympho¬
ny became a potent message of
resistance to Nazi inhumanity.
More recently, the Ninth Symphony
has been trivialised by being com¬
mandeered whenever politicians
deem it appropriate to celebrate the
“brotherhood of man".

AH this only intensifies the image
of Beethoven as an Olympian
untouchable whose music can be
adequately interpreted only by mur
skdans who are either very old or
racked with pain — or preferably
both, as with Klemperer in the early
1970s. We recall Anselm Hfltten-
brermer’s famous account of the
master's last gesture — “Beethoven
raised his right hand and, fist
clenched, his expression ferocious
and menacing, he fixed his gaze
upward for several seconds” — and
we expect every Beethoven perfor¬
mance to be a comparably epic
defiance of some malign Fate.

This crushing weight of tradition
is what puls young conductors off
Beethoven. Even Roger Norring-
ton’s bracing period-instrument per-

formanoes have not dispelled this
aura. for all their vigorous revision¬
ism. Indeed, the idea of emulating
Norringtnn may be as daunting to
the new generation of conductors as
the comparisons with Toscanini or
Klemperer were to the old.

S a for a variety of reasons,
Beethoven languishes on the
periphery of our conscious¬
ness-. never exactly forgot¬
ten; never much celebrated either.
Perhaps Edinburgh’s efforts will
rekindle the Beethoven fervour that
gripped every great musician, with¬
out exception, for a hundred years
after his death. We would certainly
have a healthier culture if the spirit
of Beethoven was allowed to roam
free again. “Do all the good you can,
love liberty above all; and never
betray tbetruth," he wrote. In his
art, if notin his everyday dealings,
he stuck to those words. We could
use some of that integrity today.

T here was I an Monda
afternoon, a notion t
write about The Worh
Tonight an Radio 4 ahnos
fully formed, when all of
sudden someone mentions
Christchurch in 1991.

It was at Christchurch i
1991 that Phil Tufnefl took, at
six tx seven wickets after$s
and England won a Tes
match that had been axnblia
towards a draw. This is whs
they do to you cm Test Maid

impossible could happen.

From the mention of Chris:
church onwards for perhap
ten minutes there followed

TELEVISION REVIEW: Timku Varadarajan on a fascinating study of Indian cricket

A nation caught at the wicket

I ndia is at its most endear¬
ing when it is at play: its
festivals are high-spirited,
its celebrations noisy, its sense
of fun ungovernable. And
cricket is the game—thepu/u
— in which the country's
character is best expressed.
Last night's vivacious film.
Dream Before Wicket (BBC2)
— part of the series. A Whole
Different Ball Game — cap¬
tured India’S fixation with
cricket in a way that made one
hope that its director. Ruchir
JoshL is at work on a sequeL
The film, more a series of
images flan a structured es¬
say, concentrates cm Bombay
arid Calcutta, the two cities
which duel for the soul of
Indian cricket. If there is a
weakness in the documentary
scheme, it is that no account is

taken of Delhi and northern
India, the region to which the
balance of the country's
cricketing power has Stifled in
the past two decades.

Bombay — which rivals
Barbados as a nursery for
cricketers — has dominated
the game in India since its
introduction by the British. Its
residents are obsessively ac¬
quisitive and file dominant
culture of the city is reflected in
the style and inventiveness of
its batsmen. Calcutta, on the
other hand, has the game's
most ardent supporters. But
the dty has produced not a
single great cricketer — the
merainal temperament and
physical frailty of the Bengali
makes him, perhaps, unstated
to the game.

The strength of the film is

that it focuses not just on the
Gavaskars and Tendulkars,
but also on those who play and
watch cm patches of parched
slum ground. Its most win¬
some images are of a Bomb^
housewife, in a nylon sari of
brilliant blue, who tells the
camera that she would like
nothing else than for her son to
grow to be a “crfcketeer”.
More aprop than malaprop,
she summed up the country’s
preference for players who axe
part cricketer, part musketeer.

One such player is Moham¬
med Aaharuddin. India’s
Muslim captain and maker of
tbe wristiest strokes since
Rohan KanhaL With the rise

pf Hindu fundamentalizm , the

pressure on Atiharuddin to
“prove” his patriotism has
been immense. The dark side

of Indian cricket is that it is
never more than a stone's
throw away—literally—from
politics. Shiv Sena, the fascist
Hindu party with a blind
hatred for the country's 100
million Muslims, controls
.cricket in Bombay. A waspish
politician from the ShivStaia.
oblivious m foe incongruity of
his pronouncement, states that
“if the game of politics is
played Hke the game of cridret.
it will improve the'whole
country”. Yet it is .heartening
to see a flock of fens in
Calcutta proclaim the Indian
captain as their "godfather”.

The film traces cricket's rote
in the forging of a sense of
Indian identity. In a land of
contrast and co n trariness, the

else can.

THEATRE: Clock-watching at the Young Vic; Flanders and Swann revisited; and bad memories ) —

Trademark gets in the way

THEATRE de CompUcncs spuiied
production packed the Cortesloe wo
'years ago, and probably contains
sufficient audience appeal to give an
embattled Young Vic the novel experi-
enceof full houses over the next month,
I should like to have enjoyed with more
enthusiasm -the company's strange,
dream-like skirmishing, drawn from
the stories of Bruno Schulz, bur after
quite a short while 1 stole a glance at
nor watch, and regularly consulted it
thereafter to find how far into the 100-
minute show 1 we hod traversed and
how much time remained.

The Street of Crocodiles
Young Vic

Schulz passed almost all his life in
the remote Galician town of
Drohobya. ax the time of his birth m
tie frontierland of Austro-Hungary.
When he began working as an an
teacher the place had become Polish,
and today it is pan of Llcxaine. He died
during the Nazi occupation, shot by an
SS officer who bore a grudge against
the fellow officer who was pro t ecting
him and who had shot his own
profegfi. "You shot my Jew, so I shot
yours."

The town was an ordinary, provin¬
cial trading-centre, but Schulz's imagi¬
nation Transforms it into a magical
crossroads, where everyday objects
pulse with energy, or else ane unnatu¬
rally torpid, where nothing is exactly
how you hope it is nor ever achieves
what is expected of it.

Chiefly he focuses on his peculiar
family and daily life at the draper's
emporium owned and managed, ec¬
centrically. by his demented father.
Simon McBumey and his co-adapter
Marie Wheatley concentrate their
dramatisation mi the relationship be¬
tween the son. Joseph, who is Schulz
himself, and his beloved parent who is
not. in truth, or even in Matthew
Scurfield^ portrayal, as riveting a
character as we are invited to accept
Troubled by a missing ledger, rais¬
ing exotic birds in the attic, declaring
that his brother has been transformed
into the rubber tubing of an enema
bag. Father's philosophic jabberings
provoke the whirly scrimmages that
are Theatre de Com pirate's trademark

Cesar Sarachu as the reluctant hero and Ulo Baur as the teasing maid in The Street of Crocodiles

but taim the play with someihing
bogus.

Joseph's agitated longings mingle
with Schulz’s own last hours. The
puni-faced Cesar Sarachu, so r t ing
books at the start of the play, lingers
over a favourite volume, and remem¬
bered friends and family clamber out
of furniture impossibly too small to
have contained them. They are inter¬
rupted by the sound of marching feet,
tramping round the auditorium^, and
Sarachu freezes. When the marching
returns at the finale, and Joseph/-

Schulz is killed, he slowly undresses
and is passed like a child along the line
of seated family until Ufa Baur's
Adel a. the maid who has kept the
household functioning, gathers him up
and bears him out into the darkness.

Moments of this qplity are en¬
hanced by the poignant music
(Schnittke. Lutoslawski. Jandcek),
mostly for strings, buz there are other
episodes that fau short of their intend¬
ed power. When the calaphorty (some
kind of cloth) is unrolled, the supposed
glory of the material really isn't

conveyed by having two assistants bub
up and down behind a white sheet
while the rest of the company dance.

Flapping books become birds, the
sense of summer heat is palpable, a
man walks down a wall, yet all too
often the artifice separates us from the
heart. “Less matter, more form!"
Father cryptically announces. Compli-
cite have taken this dangerous advice
but should consider less form, more
mauer.

Jeremy Kingston

“MUD. mud. glorious mud." Many's
tiie time I merrily fudged my way
through those immortal - lines when
scarcely more than a burble in nay
baity bath. Not until now. naive as I
am. did I know who was responsible:
the musical double act of Michael
Flanders and Donald Swann. Taking
off in the mid-1950s, they lightly
entertained Broadway and West End
audiences both satirising ^an d

Beyond The Brin ge comedy.- boom
boomed. •

Under Their Hots is a retrospective
revue of their numbers with comic
monologues and tire history of then-
careers intertwined. Performed by a
blade-tie cast of six that distinguished
old. warhorse Moray Watson among
them, the show pays tribute to the
talent of this singing and piano-

Follow me, follow

King’s Head, N1

^smrtosayf'ceased'to find thfasort of
.nonsense enormously amusing soon
after casting my nappies aside. How¬
ever. some of tiie audience attending
press night, definitely not born yester¬
day, were guffawing and singing
“Nothing quite like it for cooling the
blood” (from the classic “Hippopota¬
mus SongT as if they were having the
time of their lives. I felt a certain sang¬
froid.

You probably
had to be there in
. the1950s if you are
. to fully appreciate

this, calibre of -humour festaged. 'Al¬
though they were more decorous than
contemporary “rock’n'roll” stand-up,
Flanders and Swann were not consis¬
tently sophisticated intellectually and
artistically Some of the numbers, like
the “Song Of The Weather” are not
worth preserving. The basic jokes,
repeated choruses included, seem
slow-moving today.

On the other hand. Flanders's lyrics.

hoarding great lists of adjectives, are
crammed into Swann's helter-skelter
pastiche scores. Such innocent fun can
be heartening. The numbers get
bogged down in insincerity when the
cast put on their serious faces and sing
about TNT. Louise Tomkins, required
to play the dolly girl parts, looks as if
she may break out in a simper.

But overall this is a spry production
with several zippy performers. Most
notable are Duncan Wisbey and Stefan
Bednarczyk (with a touch of Richard
Stilgoe and an operatic voice): both
dexterous pianists with acting ability, a
fine sense of the silly and an assured
stage charm. Meanwhile. Susie Blake
makes a pleasing sloth singing upside
down, and Watson is in fine fettle in his
loopy monologue about man pitted
against the olive.

FORGET it A Lesson To
Forgive can be committed to
oblivion, no problem. It is a
deficient piece of theatre about
memory and mourning fea¬
turing an implausible home¬
less amnesiac turned haber¬
dasher’s handyman.

Scarce has Oliver cleaned
the deteriorating shop where
Teddi has been trapped, un¬
able to ler bygones be bygones;
scarce had Teddi kissed
Oliver; and scarce has Oliver
remembered the incredible
truth of their intertwined pasts
than one of them bites the
dust He is stabbed by a small

An experience to forget

swaggle of actors doing an

survivor is left, someone un¬

In the realm beyond the
senses, the Guide (mystifying-
ty named Mrs Dean) gives
some closing advice: "Forgive
yourself”. Whether one feels

Moon. SW3

another matter. 1 did jot down
the word “pardon” several
rimes, but always with a
question-mark after it The
philosophy of the beyond was
dearly beyond me. The play
itself loops back to its pro¬

logue. playing games with re¬
running reality. However, the
last-minute plot twists about
who's who are a tangle.

Daniel Finlay (Oliver) and
Rick AshweU (Teddi) do their
darnedest and achieve touch¬
ing physical moments of hesi¬
tant tenderness and desire,
but they do not connect in their
dialogue. James Dearlove is a
disappointment of a designer
considering he is a Slade
graduate. His fabric store, a

mess of ugly off-cuts in one
comer, is merely scrappy.

Director Areta Breeze is not
exactly a human tornado of
talent. Bad sight-lines meant I
did not realise 1 was in the
company of a corpse for some
time, and the thugs, seen
through the shopfront later,
seemed to be mugging an
innocent section of masonry.

Meantime, Minler churns
out frightful cliches about
being plunged into holes,
black, deep, hungry, and
nightmares that won’t let go.

There is a fortune sitting in the storerooms of Britain’s

art galleries and museums — and curators want to kee

it there. But will they succeed? Dalya Alberge reports

S ay “ deaccession mg" to the
director or curator of a
British museum, and they
wince. It is not just the
ugliness of the word; the very
concept is distasteful Deaccess-
iontng — selling off or disposing of
objects from public collections not
on show — is an option dismissed
by most in the British museum
world, however short of cash or
space they are.

The Birmingham Museum and
Art Gallery, for example, has
roughly 450.000 items in store and
only 50.000 on display, and needs
£5 million just to renovate the
storerooms. But, for this museum,
a bargain-basement sale would be
a crude way of solving the problem.

However, say the D-word to any
American director or curator and
they will react very differently. All
the leading collections have deac~
cessioning powers, and use them to
varying degrees. Since 1989.
Sotheby's alone has auctioned
American museum items for more
than £7-5 million, and Christie's
has found that museum-deaccess-
ioning is such big business that it
employs a man principally to
advise on this area.

Samuel Sachs n. director of die
Detroit Institute of Arts, says that
m the six years since he introduced
the policy, deaccessioning has
raised mare than £1J million. Last
year, for example, by selling “sec¬
ondary" early American paintings
the institute topped up the funds
needed to buy a first-rate example,
a John Singer Sargent.

Ashton Hawkins, executive vice-
president and counsel to the trust¬
ees of the Metropolitan in New
York, believes that British public
collections have not fully explored
the advantages. After all, nobody
across the Atlantic advocates a
massive clear-out of millions of
items in their collection, the Met
picks out an average of just 80 a
year. Where there are duplicates —
for example, among photographs
or arms and armour—they can be
sold and money put towards ac¬
quiring new works. A comprehen¬
sive code of ethics affects all
decisions, and there is no attempt to
link selling one object to buying
another any money raised is
placed in an acquisitions kitty.

Much as British museums would
prefer to ignore deaccessioning,
they have been forced to consider it
since the 1992 Museums and Gal¬
leries Act gave national collections
the power to sell. Curatorial staff at
the Tate, for instance, are debating
it and will report to their trustees at
the end of the year. Deaccessioning

is already happening, although
mostly without publicity. In 1993-
94, the Victoria & Albert Museum
disposed of 200 objects.

The Museums and Galleries
Commission, the Government’s
advisory body, approaches the
subject with much the same dis¬
taste as the museums themselves.
However, m a recent report, it did
recommend that in many cases,
museums should “look hard at
their collections. Are their existing
collections all appropriate?" It sug¬
gests some rationalisation “may
become inevitable".

Jeremy Warren, assistant direc¬
tor of the MGC. says: “We are not
against deaccessioning. provided it
is accepted that museum collections

6 Where it goes
wrong is
when museum
collections are
treated as assets 9

are held in trust for the public.
Where it goes wrong is when
collections are treated as assets."

Museum resistance remains
staunch. In 1991, Buxton Museum
was blackballed by the Museums
Association because it sold a num¬
ber of pictures, including a £40.000
Lowry. The decision was forced by
Labour-run Derbyshire County
Council, seeking to offset the effects
of poll-tax capping. The council's
Mark Young likens the sale to the
way “theTory Government sold off
the nation's family silver — gas or
electricity". He says the alternatives
were three redundancies or restrict¬
ed opening hours. Last week, after
criticism. Portsmouth City Council
decided against selling off exhibits
from the local museum.

These cases reinforce the MGCs
call last month for the Government
to institute a clear policy to protect
local authority museums — easy
targets when savings are sought
Warren says.

Under guidelines laid down by
the 1992 Act an item can leave
national collections if it is duplicat¬
ed, or its condition is beyond
conservation. The V&A rites the
example of textiles which can
contract destructive organisms —
bugs to you and me. as a spokes¬
woman helpfully put it Any muse¬
um wishing to dispose of objects
must first offer them to other UK

collections; selling, donating or
swapping them for something else.
Of course, in moving within public
collections, the process does not
benefit the public purse. If no other
registered museum wants them,
they can be offered elsewhere.

But the Americans insist that
deaccessioning both saves and
makes money. Stephen Wefl. depu¬
ty director of the Hirshhorn Muse¬
um in Washington, which sells 60
to 80 objects a year (raising up to
£10 million in the past decade), says
that nothing is kept in storerooms
without incurring costs: storage,
climate control, guards, periodic
inventory checks and conservation.
“Leave one thing in the basement,
and you soon leave one million
things in the basement." he says.
Sachs puts it more strongly: with
items that never see the light of day,
“tagging, dusting, conserving is a
very expensive business, and one
the public isn’t benefiting from”.

If you don't have storerooms,
said one American, you dont need
curators. He did not point out that
without curators, scholarship —
which everyone recognises as a
prime function of museums —
suffers.

But tiie Americans are not alto¬
gether commercially orientated.
They vigorously oppose making
holes in a collection to fill holes in
the roof: every cent is destined for
acquisitions. Museums that put the
income towards running costs in¬
cur the wrath of die Association of
Art Museum Directors.

Timothy Clifford, director of the
National Gallery of Scotland, could
not be more passionately against
deaccessioning. He argues that
British museums are repositories of
scholarship. If you want to study
17th-century Bolognese drawing, he
says, you would find a superb
Guercmo and a Reni in an Ameri¬
can museum, but go to the Edin¬
burgh gallery or the Louvre, and
you mil find boxloads of Bolognese
drawings. Interspersed with the
masters will be imitators; this, he
says, gives a true understanding of
Bologna during the period.

His argument is echoed by
Jeffrey Spencer, the British Muse¬
um’s assistant keeper of Egyptian
antiquities. He is adamant that he
has nothing he would want to
dispose of. “This is an archaeology
museum, rather titan an art muse- •
urn,” he says. “An item’s aesthetic
value is not a primary concern."
Indeed, he is scathing of American
museums that buy antiquities for
their pretty looks, even when their
provenance is dubious.

Even the most damaged object Is

Carolyn Hopkins, store manager of the Victoria & Albert Museum, checking through the items the public rarely sees. Although the V&A, like
other British repositories, says anyone can gain access to any stored object, only a few know what is there. Photograph by Adrian Brooks

precious to scholars. For example a
BM Egyptian mummified leg is
used in DNA tests, helping scien¬
tists to learn about tire origin and
evolution of viruses. “Everything
has a value,” Spencer says. “We
may say that today something has
no value, but we do not know what
peopfemay be able to do with it in

Although every museum in Brit¬
ain claims that anyone can have
access to any object in their
collection, how does the general
public know what is in the store¬
rooms? Buried in the basements
are true treasure-troves, but who
other than a handful of academics
has ever run his or her fingers
through the catalogues to them?
The National Portrait Gallery, for
example, has only a third of its
collection on show.

Another argument used by oppo¬
nents is that donors would think
twice about giving works of art to
institutions if they felt that they

might be sold off The Met. like
others across the Atlantic, generally
finds that supporters rarely mind
—as long as their donation helps in
someway. Americans, in any case,
have a major incentive to donate:
the tax benefits.

P erhaps the most damning
argument against de¬
accessioning is the mis¬
takes made in its name. No
curator can be unaffected by the
vagaries of fashion, let alone sub¬
jective taste. Thirty years ago.
nobody wanted a Pre-Raphadite.
Tbere was, Jbr example, the case of
the Lady Lever Art Gallery in.
Merseyside, which in 1958 de-
accessioned an 1880s Fan tin Latour
flower painting: it was sold at
Christie's for some £10,000. About
three years ago. long after the
artists reputation had blossomed,
it was on the market for more than
£1 million. Also in that year, the
Birmingham Museum and Art

Gallery sold a 17th-century Flemish
painting, attributed to Daniel
Seghers: in 1981. feeling the gap. it
had to find £20,000to buy a similar
example.

Over at tire Met, Hawkins ac¬
knowledges that there have been
mistakes, particularly a Rousseau
and a Van Gogh in the 1970s.
However, he argues that the muse¬
um's procedure is now so compre¬
hensive it is foolproof: the case for
disposal has to be made through
endless paperwork and committees
and discussions with donors or
their heirs, any of wham can -
; reverse adedsfou. A fqpner direo-
tor of an'Aiisfraliati museum once
said that “tire curator who does not
know how to sell probably does not
know how to buy”.

But few museums are faced with
the situation of the Gleubow Muse-
um in Alberta, Canada. It must sell
800 items in a short time to raise
£2J> million because, in tire 1950s,
the founder told his staff to go out

and spend, spend, spend like
drunken sailors. Today's curators
are left with two million items
which need sobering up.

Although the British museum
world will benefit from tire Nat¬
ional Lottery, winch goes on stream
. in .November, nobody yet knows
how much money will flow into the
purchase-funds . tributary rather
than towards other arts projects. In
any case, begging-bowls will clatter
against each other. There is never
enough money. Even the American
example has not produced the kind
of sums that go far an the art
market, which only governments
arweafthy donors can meet
...In the final analysis, deaccess¬
ioning is an argument between
wholly com m ercial and wholly
academic viewpoints. With over¬
flowing storerooms and a drought
of funds, some compromise does
seem possible without museums
deaccessioning their cultural
principles.

outside the Festival Hall, hun¬
dreds of us in groups follow¬
ing leaders who carried
differently coloured placards
on poles, corresponding to the
coloured stickers we wore on
our chests. First stop for all of
us was on the walkway behind
the hall, looking across at a
specially constructed balcony
on which Rosa Munoz danced
a long, gorgeously lyrical solo

AMC will be playing the
Reading Festival and a smat¬
tering of other British dates
later this month, before re¬
turning in October for a tour
in support of the forthcoming
album Son Francisco. This,
then, was Eitzel's chance to
perform both familiar and
new material in a stripped-
down formal, one ideally suit¬
ed to the exposition of his
idiosyncratic and frequently
remarkable lyrics. He writes
in something loosely resem¬
bling the rock idiom, yet uses
an almost totally original port¬
folio of ideas. And there is a
special taleit for relationship
songs often based on that
moment of ephiphany in
which some essential truth is
revealed.

A new song, "What Holds
The World Together”, was the
perfect case in point with its
references to the performance
of actress Gena Rowlands in
foe film Love Streams. Ap¬
pearing opposite her husband,
John Cassavetes, who was
dying of cancer, he recalled
her lighting up the screen with
her palpable love for him.
EftzePs tribute, delivered m
that big and strangely beauti¬
ful voice, was equally incan¬
descent.

There was no shortage of
other highlights — “Western
Sky”. “My Lost Harbour",
“Apology for an Accident” and
an appearance by AMC gui¬
tarist ^Vudi among them. And I
imagine Times columnist
Cardin Moran will not be
ashamed for it to be known
that she was crying as she left
foe building.

RHYS Chatham may not be
one of the names most famil¬
iar to rock audiences, but he
deserves to be, simply because
there are few composers
around today as interested as
he is in the sense of hearing.
Chatham, a 41-year-old New
Yorker, began performing to
the city's avant-garde more
than 20 years ago. He wrote
single-tone scores, using elec¬
tronic oscillators to stretch
each note to its full harmonic
range. The idea was dearly
minimalist in origin, and like
his contemporaries Michael
Torke and Glenn Branca,
Chatham's dynamics were in¬
fluenced by those of rode
music.

Written for 101 electric gui¬
tars, one bass and adruznldt
Warehouse of Saints: Songs
for Spies is, loosely speaking,
a symphony in seven move¬
ments. With the exception of a
six-strong core band, Chat¬
ham had recruited his guitar¬
ists through advertisements in
the press and on the radio. The
great majority of the JOl were
— in classical terms, at least—
novices, who could not nor¬
mally expect to tread boards
as august as these.

Accordingly, the sense of

strikes
a chord

Rhys Chatham
Queen Elizabeth Hall

occasion was palpable. The
curtain rose to reveal a packed
stage, some fresh and anxious
faces peering out as they
might on a school photograph.
The oldest recruit was 59-year-
old former punk and Poison
Girl Vi Subversa, the youngest
a 16-year-old schoolboy. For¬
mer members of Throbbing
Gristle and Robert Tripp's
band were also there, al¬
though most counted only
enthusiasm among their
credentials.

Warehouse was. not sur¬
prisingly. phenomenally loud.
Each member of the audience
was offered a set of cotton wool
earplugs by considerate ush¬
ers as they entered the hall.

These fluffy balls served a
primary purpose, even if they
did reduce die full experience
of the way Chatham's har¬
monics were structured.

Each guitar was tuned dif¬
ferently to a system of Chat¬
ham's own devising to
exemplify this. Fast amplified
strumming hovered as bassist
Ernie Brook and drummer
Jonathon Kane pulsed out a
progress.

How much credit Chatham
can take for the elements each
person hears in such a psycho-
aooustic composition is a moot
point Bur it is unusual for
composers to relax their audi¬
ence control to this extent and
Warehouse generated a liber¬
ating feeling that- also infected
foe guitarists.

Declining suggestions of an
encore of “Star Spangled Ban¬
ner”, Chatham opted for a
repeat of two sections which
ended with him blowing kiss¬
es, and the guitarists waving
at their families.

Performance, which so often
reinforces the sense of separa¬
tion between audience and
musician, rarely engenders
such a community feelin g.

SECRETARY

MAJOR JAPANESE FINANCIAL INSTITUTION

A challenging and varied opportunity has arisen for a
seasoned Executive Secretary to support the Chairman of the
European operation of one of the world's premier financial
institutions. Working in prestigious new offices in the City of
London, the successful candidate will provide a
comprehensive secretarial service, including managing the
Chairmans' very busy schedule, making frequent travel
arrangements and organising high-level meetings. Applicants
should already have experience at this level and must
possess the requisite organisational skills, tact, confidentiality
and diplomacy commensurate with such a high profile
appointment In this respect it is considered unlikely that
applicants below the age of 30 will have gained sufficient
experience to operate successfully at this level. Interested
candidates should submit C.Vs', including details cf current
remuneration. Applications in strict confidence, quoting
ref. CS25549/TT, will be forwarded to our client unless you list
companies to which they should not be sent in a covering
letter marked for the attention of the Security Manager: CJRA.

A broad is ateolutdy
bloody and foreigners
are firnds. The philos¬
ophy of Nancy Mitford's
Unde Matthew has always
been one of football's abid¬
ing principles. Homesick¬
ness, the dismal reverse side
of xenophobia, is endemic in
Englsh football but where
does itall start?

How far do you need to go
before homesickness kicks
in? Joey Beauchamp is dear¬
ly the sort of man who gets
vertigo standing on a
newspaper.

“He has been trouble from
day one at the dub. He has
caused me nothing but grief
He keeps saying he's made a
mistake in joining us and be
wishes he had joined Swin¬
don instead. We cant do
anything for him because be
does not talk to me or even to
fee other players. "

The deracinated
Beauchamp was signed from
Oxford United. So where is
he now? Rome? Tampa Bay?
Er, West Ham, actually.
They bought him for £1
milli on. Harry Redknapp.
the assistant manager, is the
man so cross: “He said he
wanted to cany on living in
Oxford, and we agreed. But
on Friday he rang and said
he was tired and stressed
because of being in a traffic
jam.” Beauchamp is 23. He
was born in Oxford. He has
played for West Ham only
once, in a friendly against
er. Oxford City.

Beauchamp is far from
unique. He just has football's
disease in an acute form.
This country has supplied
some spectacularly homesick
footballers, who have seen
abroad as a brief but remu¬
nerative prison sentence. lan
Rush, mainlining Marmite
in his hotel room in Italy,
summed it up to perfection:
“It was like bring in a
foreign country.”

Gazza's spell in Rome con¬
tinues. punctuated by flights
home to Newcastle. He was
described during the 1990
World Cup as “a priapic
monolith in the Mediterra¬
nean sun”: be has since
become a career priapic
monolith, rather than a foot-

MIDWEEK VSEWi

baHer. Of course, there are
footballing Brits who have
done the impossible lived
and prospered among the
fiends. Since a footballing
upbringing is designed to
bring about exactly the opp¬
osite result, that is. an umbil¬
ical dependency on the dub.
this is no small achievment

Gary Lineker is the most
famous example, a born-
again Spaniard now bowing
away to perfection in Japan.
David Platt is another,
whisked from the Midlands
to Italy. “People ask me if I
miss fee Villa, but I don’t I
live in one.”

Successful British foot¬
balling exports are the excep¬
tion: fee homesick fellow,
yearning for Newcastle or
Liverpool or for Oxford is an
archetype. British football
loses players slowly and
rehmetantfy. and when it
does let them go. they come
rebounding back wife hor¬
ror in their eyes.

But English football itself

Beauchamp: stress

is increasingly cosmopolitan.
More and more, players
come here from all kinds of
odd places. And they stay,
and they play fine footbalL

The latest recruit is the
wandervogeL Jurgen Klin¬
smann, a German who has
played in Italy and Monaco,
who speaks four languages,
and who gave his arrival
press conference, jokes and
all in effortless English.

The League is foil of men
of his stamp: persons of fee
world, citizens of the 21st
century, people for whom a
national boundary is a line
on the map, and a change of
language is a change of gear,
not a change of engine.

They come from Sweden,
Russia, Romania. Norway,
Denmark, the United States,
Cameroon, Nigeria. Bolivia,
Australia and Trinidad.

And France. Eric Cantona
has never appeared, for a
second, to suffer the terrible
pangs of homesickness: none
at afi. Perhaps he does. That
is one explanation. But if so,
he felt equally homesick in
France.

Perhaps Cantona is a man
who. wherever he roams, is
eaten up wife homesickness.
But homesick for where?
That is fee question.

T hen inspiration came
to me. I seized from
my shrives A Hitch¬
hikers? Guide to the Galaxy
and read the words: “By a
curious coincidence. None at
all is exactly how much
suspicion the ape-descen¬
dant Arthur Dent had that
one of his closest friends was
not descended from an ape.
but was in fact from a small
planet somewhere in the
vicinity of Betelgeuse, and
not from Guildford as he
claimed-"

For Guildford, read Mar¬
seilles. Cantona is obviously
“desperate that any flying
saucer at all would arrive
soon, because 15 years was a
long time to get stranded
anywhere, particularly
somewhere as mind-bogg-
lingfy dull as fee Earth". Et
voild. Cantona is an inter-
galactic Joey Beauchamp- It
all makes sense.

Sayyedati heads Marois betting

By Dick Hinder

SAYYEDATI has been made
9-4 favourite by Ladbrokes to
capture the Prix Jacques le
Marois for the second
successive year at Deauville
on Sunday.

Ladbrokes have the French-
trained pair. East Of The
Moon and Sid Paradise,
bracketed on the >1 mark for
the group one contest, which
follows swiftly on the heels of
the competitive Sussex Stakes.

Sayyedati, who twice fin¬
ished behind Sid Paradise in
valuable graded races in To¬
kyo earlier this year, showed
signs of returning to peak

form when fourth behind Dis¬
tant View in die Goodwood
showpiece. She was travelling
smoothly throughout the race,
but was trapped against the
rails in the dosing stages.

Clive Brittain, her trainer,
said yesterdays “She is in very
good form and was unlucky
not to get a run in the Sussex.
It is going to be like die Sussex
Stakes all over again. She acts
on the course and won it last
year, so we are hopeful."

With the Deauville ground,
already on the Cast side of
good, and drying out the
chances of the Irish 2,000
Guineas winner. Turtle Is¬

Ascot and missed the Sussex
Stakes owing to firm ground.

Trainer Peter Chapple-
Hyara’S, wife. Jane said: “Tur¬
tle island will run at Deauville
only if the ground is on the soft
side of good. The International
Stakes at York next Tuesday is
an alternative but we would
want plenty of rain as the
ground would have to ease
considerably."

Ladbroke’s prices for the
Marois are: 9-4 Sayyedati. 3-1
East Of The Moon. Ski Para¬

dise. 7-2 Barathea. 8-1 Grand
Lodge, 16-1 Emperor Jones.
Turtle Island is quoted at 3-1
with a run.

Meanwhile, at Deauville
yesterday, British raiders had
to be content with two second
places when contest in g listed
races. Alex Scott's Done Well
put up an excellent perfor¬
mance to take second behind
Pennekamp in the £13.730 Prix
du Haras de la Huderie over
seven furlongs.

Haring set a modest pace.

Done Well, partnered by Wal¬
ter Swinbum. looked to have
his five rivals in trouble lb
furlongs out. but Pennekamp.
the 5-1 oq favourite, suddenly
found his stride and came
through to win by three-
quarters of a length.

The other British challeng¬
er. Great Bear, trained by
Fulke Johnson Houghton,
weakened in die dosing stages
to finish fifth.

Swinbum again tried to
make all on the Robert Arm-

EDGBASTON (j^ mn
toss ) : Warwickshire beat Kent
by8mns

THE quest far revenge can
infla me d angerous passions
ana provoke irrational ac¬
tions, as Kent demonstrated
yfflterday. Playing calm, cal¬
culated oxiet at the scene of
bitter memories, they had all
• committed Warwick¬
shire* dream of the dean
weep to sport’s stockpile of
heroic failures when the enor¬
mity of the task, overcame
man and they ruined a days
work in an hour.

The resuh was a breathtak¬
ing win for the home side and
a euphoric invasion from
another 10.000crowd acclaim-

pitch was as equable- in ihe
first over as the last
Warwickshire would have
made 290, but for regularly

ance of tne season.

Warwickshire are only the
third side to appear in both
finals but suen is their re¬
sourcefulness that becoming
the- first to take aH four
M goth petitions may now be
- thought rather mare than
possible.

Fifteen oven from the end of
this match, Warwickshire had
looked bound for their first
defeat in knockout cricket
since May of last year, 12
victories and two trophies ago.

Kent had looked bound for
their first NatWest final fo ten

years and the erasure erf modi
resentment over the mnrhn-t of
their Benson and Hedges
quarter-final on this ground,
back in May.

At 183 for two, Kent were
cruising towards a target of
266 crea ted b y an unhegtpn
century freon Andy Moles.

Trevor Ward and Carl Hooper
were batting as if defeat was
out of the question and seme
of the perkiness had left
Warwickshire^ cricket. But
with Dermot Reeve as captain,
one can never be sure ofthal

Once Paul Smith had taken
out Ward, for 80, and Graham
Cowdrey, Warwickshire were.
swarming again and Kent
were in panic. A series of
flailing strokes followed, when
good sense was die prerequi¬
site. Reeve, of course; was al
the centre of it, his outrageous '
variety bringing him three
wickets and a cult status he
has been earning hereallyear..

Kent needed 39 off the last
?, five overs and if Hooper had
batted through they would
have won. But Reeve snared . •
him, too, and one of the most .'
startling wins even dris astod-

Lara, however, plays hot¬

does hot look to work the ball

grabbed
armpit

Twose batted with more
selective freedom than anyone
in the match, confirming he is
now mature enough to merit a
tour with the England A team.
His 49 was made from 57 balls
and dominated a stand of 74
with Moles. In erne over from
Hooper he played three pro¬
ductive sweeps and executed
the reverse stroke; which is

part of th^marhing manual at

Edgbaston, as confidently as
the orthodox.

Moles had contentedly
played around the stroke-
makers, his persona] scoring
rate dropping from two to one
per over. But as the inning s
now threatened to subside ne
reasserted. Nobody stayed
with him for long but Moles
completed a deserved century
from the last ball of the
penultimate over.

Plump, pink and perspir¬
ing, he took off his helmet and
waved his bat to every comer
at the ground. Warwickshire
did 1 not select him for the
Benson and Hedges final.
They would not (fore leave
him out when they take on
Worcestershire again.

by spin attack

By Our Sports Staff

PAKISTAN were 297 for six
after the opening day of the
first Test match with Sri
Lanka in Colombo yesterday,
the wickets bong shared by
Sri Lanka’s three spin
bowlers.

It looked a decidedly useful
score on a pitch, short of grass,
that became increasingly diffi¬
cult as the day progressed.
Pakistan were 180 for one at
one stage, after a second-
wicket partnership of 115 be¬
tween Saeed Anwar (94) and
Asif Mujtaba (44). following a
rousing start provided by
Aamrr Sohafl, who hit 41 from
51 balls, including eight fours.

Sahail took advantage of Sri
Lanka’S makeshift new-ball
attack before he fell to Kumar.
Dharmasena when frying to
cut a straight ball, and was
bowled with the score on 65.

Anwar was six runs short of
what would have been his

second Test hundred when he
tried to hit Wamaweera to leg
and was smartly caught in the
gully fay Jayasuriya. Salim
Malik was caught at short leg
when the ball lodged under
Tfllekeratne’s right armpit

Isles yacht race (Bany Pickthall writes). Jade; their Storm 33
cruiser, completed the 360-mfle leg from Cowes to Cork late
on Monday after an exciting race across the Irish Sea. "We
treated it as a day race and everyone went without sleep to
drive the boat as hard as possible," said Barren.

His crew, who are all paying for the privilege; have been
preparing for the event all year. "They have all worked
extremely hard for this and are thoroughly enjoying it”
Barrett said after Jade readied Cork with a 53-minute
advantage over Norma, Hans-Peter Baum's German entry.
The 15-strong fleet sets out today on the 830We longest leg
of the race to Lerwick, in the Shetland Islands.

Ireland ring changes

RUGBY UNION: Eight of the players in the Ireland party
that toured Australia during the summer have been omitted
from a preliminary squad of 32 for the coming international
season (David Hands writes)- Brendan Muhin, the centre,
wbo announced his availability last week, has not been
included, although the selectors wil] assess his dub form
before naming a revised squad in October. A further five
players have been invited to attend training at Lansdowne
Road, including Sean McCahilL whose brother. Benue,
made ten appearances for New Zealand.

US gain early reward

EQUESTRIANISM: The United States showjumping team
were rewarded for their long journey to compete in the
Dublin international horse show by taking the first three
places in the opening event yesterday (Muriel Bowen
writes). Eric Hasbrouk, riding Fino, won the Kerrygold
Welcome Stakes from an original entry of more than 100.
Nick Skelton, with an eye to more important events to come,
did not contest the jump-off on Everest limited Edition as be
wanted to keep him fresh.

Easy for England

SQUASH: England beat Germany 3-0 yesterday in the last
qualifying match of the Hi-Tec world junior men's team
championship in Christchurch (Colin McQuillan writes).
They will meet Canada tomorrow in the easiest of the
quarter-finals and are likely to go through to a tough semi¬
final against Australia or France. Egypt with the individual
finalists in (heir squad, remain favourites to achieve the
double. They play Pakistan in the quarter-finals and either
Germany or Finland in the semi-finals.

Strike looks certain

BASEBALL: The long-threatened strike looks certain to start
on Friday after lawyers acting for players and owners failed
to reach an agreement on capping salaries. The two sides
were due to restart talks yesterday, but Donald Fehr. the
union chief, said a walkout was likely. If the strike goes
ahead, it vail be the eighth stoppage in 22 years. Owners
asked for a salary cap in 1985 and 1990. but then withdrew
after union opposition.

Wilson riding high

EQUESTRIANISM: Jane Wilson, from Balsall Common,
near Coventry, won the open intermediate section on her
seven-year-old. Top Notch, at the Looking Good Everdon
Horse Trials in Northamptonshire yesterday (Jenny
MacArfhur writes). She then watched her pupil Alberto
Gmgrri. from Italy, finish in second place mi Mister Brough.
Wilson sold Mister Brough, a ten-year-old, to Giugni two
weeks ago and it was only his second event with the horse

I f you were not fully
satisfied by the World
Cup finals, the menu of
television coverage for the
new football season should
bloat even (he most ravenous
follower of tbe national game.

The impressive British
viewing figures from the tour¬
nament in the United States,
climaxing with the 18.6 mil¬
lion that watched the final,
were obtained despite the
absence of the home nations.
The interest has encouraged
the terrestrial, satellite and
cable networks to show un¬
precedented amounts of do¬
mestic and international
football this season.

Trevor East the new con¬
troller of 1TV sport said: “The
World Cup viewing figures
prove that the public will
watch sport even without
direct UK participation. The
public simply cannot get
enough football — provided it
is of sufficient quality."

For the first time, the three
European dub tournaments
are being staged on different

The BBC is well aware of
the increasing demand for
analysis. Brian Barwick. edi¬
tor of Match of the Day. said:
“Television has got to give the
public greater insight We
have got to get into the nuts

Smith fails
with final
attempt to
grasp gold

From David Miller in Helsinki

STEVE Smith. Britain's
young high jumper, was in
tears of frustration at the
conclusion of last night's tense
high jump competition in
which he took joint second
place, with his clearance of
2.33 metres. Such is his confi¬
dence in his ability, he be¬
lieved he should have won,
and for some minutes after¬
wards he would talk to no one
in his disappointment

The gold medal went to
Steinar Hoen of Norway, a
non-qualifier in the Barcelona
Olympics and last year’s
World Championships, who
set a new championship
record with his clearance of
235 metres on his third at¬
tempt So overwhelmed was
he by his success that he did
not bother to attempt a further
height

Smith, who has suffered
problems from an injured
ankle for much of the season,
explained his tears after¬
wards. “It's been a hard
season for me. and this was
the first time ive come into a
competition without any
pain." he said.

“All ive thought about all
year is winning the European
Championship. This is the

most upset I’Ve ever felt. Each
time at 2.35,1 just brushed the
bar, and it bounced off. At the
moment I see this as defeat
Maybe i'U wake up in the
morning and see it as a
success. Tonight's tears are
frustration. Tomorrow they
may be tears of retief."

The competition had wound
its way through nearly three
long hours, it must be so
disrupting for the concentra¬
tion of high jumpers when
repeatedly their event is punc¬
tuated by their approach run
being trespassed by other
athletes busily engaged in the
400 metres or the 1500 metres.
The discipline required to
maintain concentration must
be extreme.

Smith, last year's bronze
medallist in both outdoor and
indoor World Champion¬
ships, shared the silver medal
with Artur Partyka of Poland.
Both had an identical record
of clearances and failures.
Party ka was second in last
year's World Championships
"in Stuttgart.

By the time the last three
men came to battle it out at
nine o’clock in the evening, the
sky was darkened by clouds
and a cool breeze was blowing.
Smith was only there thanks

to his clearance of 2Jt at his
third attempt, achieving it
with several centimetres to
spare after a poor first at-
templ. and grazing the bar
with his calf on the second.
Hoen had cleared by a sub¬
stantial margin on his second
attempt

At 2.53, Smith was almost
over on his first jump, the bar
quivering for some seconds
before it fell, but on his second
jump, though the shortest
man among those still disput¬
ing the title, he was well over.

And so it proceeded to 235
metres. Hoen, Smith and
Party ka ail failed once. At the
second attempL Hoen's back¬
side brushed the bar off heavi¬
ly. Smith cleared, but dragged
the bar down with his heels.
Party ka, having problems
with a shoelace, had less than
20 seconds of his time limit to
spare as he made his third
attempt a clumsy failure.

Hoen, with his wide arc of
an approach run, grazed the
ban it quivered, stayed put,
and Hoen sank to his knees,
his arms in the air in grati¬
tude. Could Smith matchhim?

The youngster from West
Derby has the ideal atittude to
his event “You’ve got to have
the mentality to think that
wherever the bar's put. you
are going to clear it,” he has
said.

Now. he came to look at the
bar. Measured the height in
his mind, turned, and with his
back to the bar bent down in
concentration, hands on knees
preparing for his critical
effort

Back he went to the outside
of the running track. The
crowd began chanting and
dapping. Smith’s pale blue-
grey eyes gazed steadily ahead
and as usual he talked to
himself, licking his lips as he
concentrated- A final look and
he accelerated towards the
jump faster than usual. His
leap was not enough. His
bottom caught the bar before
he reached his full height for
- he had come in too dose on his
approach.

He had lost yet he was
second, but that was not
enough for the man who has
put himself within range of the
world champion and record-
holder, Javier Sotomayor. of
Cuba.

For all his youth. Smith has
known his frustrations —
twelfth in the Olympic Games
when, had he cleared 234 on
his last jump, he would have
won an Olympic silver medal
at 19. He still has so much time
ahead of him.

□ The Russian sprinter
Natalia Voronova today be¬
came the eighth athlete to be
expelled from the European
Championships for tailing a
drugs test Voronova, a mem¬
ber of the winning relay team
at last year’s world champion¬
ships. was found to have used
a substance containing ephed-
rine in a test carried out after a
track meeting in Granada,
Spain, in June.

Sabine Braun, of Germany, landing with authority yesterday, retains her heptathlon championship

Privalova leading from the front

THE sprint double that stimu¬
lated public awareness of
Katrin Krabbe in 1990 should
be repeated here in Helsinki
this week in the European
athletics championships. Irina
Privalova won the 100 metres
on Monday, and the 200
metres is hers for the taking,
deserved reward for a Russian
who trains where, she said,
"fatalities go back as far as
Stalin’s day".

Privalova was referring to
Moscow State University.
Since the fall of the Soviet
Union, several of Moscow's
training centres have been
abandoned through lack of
resources. Once, the Soviet
system supported Privalova;
now she is helping to support
it, or that which remains. She
donates money from her
grand prix winnings to assist
with the university’s sports
programme.

Though Privalova has grad¬
uated, she still uses the univer¬
sity amenities. The equip-

David Powell reports on a dynamic Russian
sprinter who is sharing her just reward

ment and facilities are old but
available," she said. And they
work for her. This has been
Privalovafinest season, and
her European record of
I0.77sec for 100 metres set in
Lausanne last month was the
fastest sprint by a woman
since Florence Griffith-
Joyners record-breaking year
of 1988.

Aged 25. Privalova has had
a busy life. A figure skater at
three. Soviet Union age-group
speed-skating champion at
ten. married at 18. a mother at
19. divorced at 20. world
indoor 60 metres champion at
22, degree in journalism at 23.
She has even thought about
what comes next “Sports jour¬
nalism." she said. “I am not an
expert in politics."

The politics of sport are the
job of Igor Ter-Ovanesyan, a

long jump world record-hold¬
er from the Sixties. He is foe
controller of Russian athletics
and it is questionable for how
much longer Russia will be
able to afford to subsidise
training and development or
even send full teams to cham¬
pionships. It may not be long
before great Russian teams

Christie’s main challenge lies ahead

From David Miller

ANOTHER gold medal, but the real test
is yet to come. Linford Christie yesterday
admitted that his third European champ¬
ionship 100 metres title was only a dress
rehearsal for the most difficult challenges
of foe season: his confrontation, next week
in Zurich, with Leroy Burrell, the world
recoTd-holder, and foe Commonwealth
Games in Canada against the Nigerians
and Frankie Fredericks, of Namibia.

Christie's record, at 34, is exceptional:
Olympic, world. European and Common¬
wealth champion. European record-hold¬

er and, seemingly, running as well as
ever. Yet nine men have run faster than he
has this season, and the next two weeks
will reveal whether he is still at a peak.

He is glad that there will be heats and a
final at Zurich. “I'm a championship
performer more than anything, because I
can handle foe rounds and, pound for
pound, am stronger than foe others,"
Christie said yesterday.

“For foe Americans, Zurich is like their
championships this year. They are going
to be hard to beat and Burrefl’s record
was fantastic, but fortunately one round
fin Zurich] will warm me up for the

second.” Burrell, Mitchell, Drummond,
and Cason all have sutHen-second times"
this season. An hour and a half will
separate heats and final in Zurich.

If a record is set there, one senses it is
unlikely to be by Christie, unless he can
find exceptional motivation. There was no
sign of any hamstring problem here, yet
that electric spark was missing.

In Christie's defence, it can be said that
nobody runs mere earnestly for Britain,
and he said the sprint relay team at these
championships can overcome the loss of
John Regis. “Working together with the
coach, well be fine," he promised.

down the shaft and swung it

rolled slowly to the hole and
disappeared, vanishing
from sight with a plop as it
hit the cup inside the
hole.

Albert adds class to
Newcastle defence

By Louise Taylor

KEVIN Keegan spent yester¬
day evening persuading
Phillipe Albert of Belgium, to
join Newcastle United and so
become half of Britain's most
expensive central defensive
pairing.

Keegan was negotiating
personal terms with the inter¬
national centre-half after
agreeing a £2.6 million trans¬
fer fee with his dub, Ander-
Jechr. Albert flew into
Newcastle from Brussels.

Albeit 27, wfll partner
Darren Peacock, Britain^
priciest defender who joined
Newcastle for a record E2.7
million from Queen’s Park
Rangers last spring. Keegan
believes Albert’s World Cup
experience w31 prove invalu¬
able as United prepare for
their UEFA Cup adventure.

With the promising home¬
grown Steve Howey still trou¬
bled by persistent groin
problems. Keegan felt com¬
pelled to sign a new central
defender.

Ycl it and when. Howey is
fit competition for places will
be intense. Barry Venison,
originally a right-back, pro¬
ved outstanding at centre-half
last season but could struggle
to command a regular place.
Keegan having paid £600.000
for international Marc
Hottiger. of Switzerland,

Peacock failed to impress at
foe end of last season, but has

performed credibly in pre-
season warm-ups and should
complement Albert
Having decided that another
central defender was impera¬
tive, Keegan enquired about
foe availability of Coventry’s
Phil Babb only to be deterred
by a £3 million asking price.
His attention switched to Al¬
bert white he was commentat¬
ing for ITV at the World Cup.

Speaking from Brussels
Robert du Pot Anderiechfs
assistant manager, confirmed
that the two dubs bad agreed
foe transfer fee. and that
Albert was in England agree¬
ing personal terms.

Although Anderiedit insist
Newcastle had been the only
interested English dub,
sources on Tyneside suggest¬
ed that Tottenham Hotspur
were also in hot pursmL

Alan Ball, foe Southampton
manager, has returned to his.
old dub Exeter to sign defend¬
er. Peter WhistotL for £30,000.
Whiston, 26, passed a medical
at foe Dell but did not join the
first team squad on their tour
to Holland. “

Southampton also hope to
complete die signing of goal¬
keeper Bruce Grobbdaar,
from Liverpool, on a free
transfer. Grobbdaar, 36, met
club director, Lawrie
McM enemy, to discuss terms
but asked for time to consider
the move south.

Rangers change tactics

" J * K^vinTMcCarra reports from Athens on how the

Scottish champions are preparing for a to ting
tie in the preliminary round (rf the European Cup

GIVEN the burden resting on
Rangers’ shoulders as they
prepare for a testing Euro¬
pean Cup match against AEK
Athens here this evening, it
seemed almost fitting that one
member of the squad should
have an aching back. There is,
however, nothing metaphori¬
cal about the matter for John
Brown, foe defender, who
required an operation after,
similar problems last season!

As chance tsxis to have it in
football the injury affects a
delicate area ofwalter Smith's
planning as he attempts to
guide the dub past the prelim¬
inary-round hazard and on to
the riches of the Champions
League. The Rangers manag¬
er had been planning to field a-
five-strong defence but. with.
Bastle Soli suspended and
unavailable, foe likely loss of
Brown could nudge him to¬
wards different tatctics.

' AEK are swift ami fluent in
foe build-up and, asjftangjers
trained in the Nikos Goumas
stadium last night. Smith may
have been mulling oyer foe
attractions of increasing foe
staffing level In rxudfield. In¬
stead of reinforcing foe centre
of the defence, he could string
fate players across the .centre
of the pitch and attempt to
stifie the Greeks there.

Such a policy wouki see
Mark Hateley operate as a.
lone striker but Rangers need
no longer fear that such a
system will leave-them stolid
as the purchase of. Brian
Laudrup gives than a roam-
mg player whose skflfel capri-

riousness will- alarm most
opponents. In bygone times,
teams on foreign soft tended to
be Spartan. Rangers, a decade
or so aga used to practice self-
denial by leaving Davie Chop¬
per, their marvellous
left winger, as a substitute for
such ties. Too often, though,
foe ploy merely left sides..
shorn of foe capacity to score
the significant away goal

Smith intends to be more,
enterprising tonight and
Laudrup need not fear for. his ..
place. “He is not an out-and-
out winger” S mith said.
“Laudrup has mure freedom -
than that and his ability to

take foe ban and hold it up foF

us can bea vital factor.*

Although called on to cover
the entire pitch this evening!

the Dane also hopes to come to

ajhalt with Rangers. Laudrup,
sgned by Smith from Fioren-
tina,. has had five previous
duhs and he knows that is too
many for a 25-year-old. He '
talks gently of .settling in
Glasgow to “find myself as a -
hu man*. •

Referring to the arrival of.
himself and'Bofi. Laudrup"
said “You can’t just sign two
players and think you are a .
big team," The economy of a
dub such as AC Milan allows
them to buy people all foe
time. Rangers are moving in '

_. .. not believe we can.

become European ch a m p ions
overnight"

JLaudnip has been pleasant- f
ly surprised by the short-,
passing stytoempfoyed by his .
TtewdubinprMeason games.
In Haly, he had beet warned
that the Soots knew only how i
to dump the long bafl. Against -..
AEK. though. Rangers wfll
not always have foe luxury of .,
elegance. They are bound to be-'
underpressure. ..

In cooseqnsjce, foe return

comforting. At the end of last *

lAmpcntant murderer Charles Manson (C4,950pm)

Witness: Manson—Hw Man Wbo Killed the Sixties
Channel 4.9.00pm

Yet another 25th armivmaiy piece, following those on
Jrdand. the moral landing and Lord Lucan, looks back
to the murder of the actress Sharon Tate and debt
others by Charles Manson and his so-called family.
Small (5ft 2in) and charismatic, Manson had spent
morethabhalfhis35yearsinprison. Released in 1967
he latched into the prevailing youth culture and started
a hippy commune. Bui where other hippies were
content wi* drugs, sex and opposition to ine Vietnam
War. Manson and his followers, mostly from white
middle-class America, took to murder as well. The film
never really explains why and Manson. interviewed
from prison, does not help. He is unrepentant and
apparently quite mad.

Stapes: A Few Short Journeys of the Heart
BBC2,935pm

Andrew Davies's contribution to the studio drama slot
is probably best recorded on video and replayed
slowly. That may enable the viewer to unravel what
this extraordinary piece is about. Ron Rust (David
Troughion) is a railed middle-aged wrirer with
unrequited designs an his agent's lovely assistant
(Saira Todd). In his fantasy he imagines himself as a
famous novelist writing a screenplay for a film about
Leonardo da Vinci. In a third incarnation, looking like
a younger Enoch Powell Troughion keeps strange
company on toe London to Wolverhampton tram.
With the other members of toe cast also playing
several characters, toe difficulty is knowing where toe
real world ends and imaginary ones begin.

Grace Under Fire
BBC2,9A0pm

“When did you last have a weekend without the kids?"
asks Grace's neighbour, Nadine. “When 1 was in
labour.* 1 our divorced mother-ofdiree replies
(laughter). The exchange typifies a show toar keeps
threatening to make sharp points about marriage
breakdown, single parenthood and toe like and then
softens them with jokes. In tonight's plot Grace
manages to dump the kids on her former in-laws and
have a girls’ night out with Nadine. A hunky student
makes advances but Grace's wisecracks kem him at
y. Russell, the pharmacist, is also divorced. His ex-
e has custody of the dog and wants it neutered.
Typical says Russell's friend, of how men are being
emasculated by feminists and liberals.

The Homan Animat the Human Zoo

BBC], 930pm

Desmond Morris likens the city to a zoo in which
animals (that is. us) live together in a confined space.
The challenge, he suggests, is whether cities continue
to be zoos or evolve into game parks. Like all Morris's
big ideas, this one has toe whiff of a commonplace
observation posing as a scientific theory. It seems not
to occur to him that while we choose to live in cities,
animals do not choose to live in zoos. On another tack
he explores what he calls tribal groups, such as
bail fans or chaps in blazers at Henley. Sometimes
he draws dubious conclusions, claiming that toe
famous horse race in Siena exorcises tribal rivalries
and keeps down the crime rate. The series is fine as
entertainment. Rarefy is it more. Peter Waymark

Garrison Keffiort Radio Preadicrs. Radio 4.8.45pm.

Surveying religion by radio in America’s southern states, KfaUor
makes the point that dectnmic evangelism does not offer the moral
affability or positive thinking of Protestantism. The comment seems
superfluous since we have heard from, or about, preachers who
perform acrobatics in the pulpit, sing, shout or bark like a dog at the
end of every fourth word- "You’ve got to shake the congregation’s
nerves and rattle thrir brains," says one preacher. And, it seems, rattle
any ornament dose to the radio set, too.

Surrey desperately close to achieving huge target at the Oval

Moody’s onslaught proves

By Michael. Henderson

THE OVAL (Surrey won toss):
Worcestershire beat Surrey by
seven runs

WORCESTERSHIRE wear
three pears on their sweaters.
Tom Moody, at his coruscat¬
ing best, yesterday added a
peach. His superb 180 from
160 balls enabled Worcester¬
shire to win an unforgettable
game of 707 runs and reach
the final of a competition they
have never won.

Without doubt this was one
of the great one-day matches.
Not one ever has produced so
many runs and no two bats¬
men anywhere in the world
have made as many for any
wicket as Moody and Tim
Curtis did for the third here,
309 unbroken.

Adam Holiioake. who made
60 from 36 bans, and Joey
Benjamin, who struck two
sixes in the last over, did their
valiant best for Surrey. On
this extraordinary day it was
not quite enough. Needing 101
from the last ten overs with

only three wickets in hand,
Surrey came within eight runs
of victory thanks to
Hollioake's nerveless
strokepiay. But even his in¬
nings. which included one of
the highest sixes this ground
has ever seen could not erase
the imperishable memory of
Moody's batting.

His striking was phenome¬
nal. the more so when one
considers that he has been
troubled by a strained ham¬
string. Worcestershire were
handSy placed, no more, at
lunch. Afterwards the ferocity
of the Australian's hitting
made this large ground
appear very sraalL Curtis lent
admirable support as their
partnership acquired a strato¬
spheric dimension.

The last 20 overs brought
201 runs, an acceleration that
boggles the mind. Moody
went from 50 to 150 in 51 balls
with 16 fours and two sixes.
The first off Boiling, cleared
the ropes at long-off. More
astonishing was the way he
made room to drive Marlin
Bickneil into the crowd at
extra cover. It was the stroke of
a man who refuses to ac¬
knowledge the conventions
other men normally observe.

One by one records were
surpassed until eventually
they scaled the most inaccesri-

ble peak, beating the unbro¬
ken 303 of South Africans.
Alan Barrow and Henry
Rxheringham, made for Na¬
tal in 1975-76. If they were
exhausted by their 48-over
occupation of the crease then
Surrey’s fielders looked as
though they had followed
Napoleon to Moscow and
bade.

Just when it seemed Moody
could not improve upon a
stroke, either fix' audacity or
placement, he supplied
another, no whit less wither¬
ing. Holiioake. brought back
to quell the storm, was driven
high into the empty terracing
at die Vauxhail End by a man

who ended up ten yards away
from him in mid-pitch.

In the last over of the
innings Moody established
another record for the highest
individual score against
another first dass county in
this competition. Previously it
belonged to Gordon
Gree nidge, who made 177 for
Hampshire against Glamor¬
gan in 1975.

There were some edges, as
there always are in this type of
cricket, when the field spreads
far and wide but this should
not detract from the quality of
his assault Moody took on a
bowling side that dismissed
Glamorgan for 161 in the last

round and won the battle
hands down.

The best bowler at Swansea
was not playing. Evidently
Tony Murphy's six wickets
there counted for little as soon
as Martin Bickneil declared
his fitness. He wfl] not want to
see his figures. Alter bowling
seven tidy overs for 17 Moody
and Curtis took 45 from his
last five. Poor Murphy,
dropped for the second cup
semi-final tills season, took
out his anger on his dressing-
room locker.

Surrey, who scored 343 for
six against Lancashire on this
ground in the second round,
were now faced with the

vertiginous prospect of scor¬
ing more tuns than any team
has made batting second in
this competition. Thorpe and
-Darren Bickneil supplied an
excellent mountain camp and,
after Thorpe conceded a run¬
out to his own folly, and Wand
went cheaply. Brown moved
to a scintillating half-century
from 39 balls.

Within three more balls he
had heaved Moody to long-off.
Hick, who had run out
Thorpe, took three cheap wick¬
ets and, try as Hoflioakfr
might, (he cause was lost. At
the first time of asking.
Worcestershire are bade at
Lord’s.

FA unveils
its plan
to improve.

discipline

By Ror Hughes

FOOTBALL CORRESPONDENT

THE news that mart right-
minded football ..st$porters
wanted to hear, and the loud¬
est dub managers have al¬
ready attempted- to shout
down, is out The Football
Association spelt out in I
seven-point referees’ i
yesterday, that it is in
with an immediate
wide diktat to ensure that the
improvements in discipline
and playing attit u des, the true
legacy of the Work! Cup, are io
be protected.

The seven points, which
have gone out from Lancaster
Gale to 100.000 dubs and
societies, from the head of the
FA Carling Premiership to the
farthest school playing-field,
lists the following:

.]) A red card for violent
challenges from behind, with
little or no intent to play the
balL This is issued witha rider
that referees should protea
the freedom of creative players
to run with the ball without
-fear of cynical kicks from
. behind.

2) Referees must be vigilant
about reckless challenges -
including the use of the elbow
and arm — and should issue
yellow cards when those are
deemed to be without due care
for the opponent

3) Medical staff to be
allowed on to the field only to
assess the extent of injury.
Only in the case of a head
■irqury or obviously severe
-limb injury will treatment be
allowed on the field.

' 4} linesmen should give the
element of doubt in offside
situations to the attacking
in doubt, keep the fl#
down" is the advice from Ken
Ridden, the FA director of
referees.

• 5) Dissent will be sanctioned
by yellow cards, as will time-
wasting and Mure to retreat
ten yards at free kicks.

6) The yellow card will be
used as a deterrent against
offensive language.

7) For atrial period, referees
will be allowed flexibility to
issue their red or yellow card
immediate^, without having
first to speak to the player and
take his name.

To ensure that the referees
sustain the new code, each one
will be assessed by an observ¬
er hired by the FA. -

Smith’s best jump of season earns silver medal

'■A .taV-VS *

Smith: overcame injuries

From David Powell

ATHLETICS CORRESPONDENT
IN HELSINKI

STEVE Smith won Britain’s third
medal of the European athletics cham¬
pionships here yesterday, taking a
silver in the high jump after gold
medals from Unford Christie, in the
100 metres, and Steve Baddey, in the
javelin, cm Monday.

Smith jumped his best height of the
season. 233 metres, to share second
place with Artur Partyka. of Poland.
The winner. Steinar Hoen, of Norway,
set a championship record of Z35
mares.

Smith’s fighting performance after a
summer Crying to shake off knee and
hamstring injuries was in contrast to
Britain’s showing in the 1300 metres.

In a final won by Fezmin Cacho. the
Spanish Olympic champion. Britain’s
two representative};. Gary Lough and
David Strang, filled the last two places.

“We have a great tradition in this
event bur tonight we let ourselves and
our country down." Strang, the Euro¬
pean indoor champion, said. Lough,
third in the European Cup in June,
shrugged his shoulders, shook his
head, and said: "I feel embarrassed.”

Cacho deserved his victory. He took
on his share of the work near the front,
together with Gennaro di Napoli, of
Italy. They went through 800 metres in
lmin 57.73sec and were ahead at the.
bell, reached in 2min 40B9sec.

By now, though. Di Napoli’s best
work was over mid be faded quickly.
Coming off the bend it was Cacho’S
fellow Spaniard, Isaac Vidosa. who

presented the only danger. Cacho’S
sprint proved superior and he crossed
die line in a championship record of
3min 35J27sec for Spain’s second gold
from a men’s track event. Vidosa was
second in 3mm 36.01sec and Branko
Zorka, of Croatia, third in 3min
36.01sec Lough recorded 3 min
43U9sec and Strang 3min 5027sec

No event in these championships
will be of more interest to Britain than
the men* 400 mores final tomorrow.
Having won their first-round races on
Monday. Roger Black and DuTaine
Ladejo strengthened the feeling in the
semi-finals yesterday that the remain¬
der of the field wfll be racing for the
bronze medal.

Ladejo won the first heat in 45.70sec.
Black the second in 45.795ec. They
could not be more evenly matched:

they have beaten each other twice this
season. Black is the European outdoor
champion going for ins Hard -
successive title, aged 28 and holding
on; Ladejo is the European indoor
champion, aged 23 and rising.

Britain will have two finalists in the
women’s 400 metres. Phylis Smith and
Melanie Neef. Neither is expected to
win a medal though Smith was third
fastest of the qualifiers, looking com¬
fortable with 51.90sec Marie-Jose
Perec, of France, and Svetlana
Goncharenko, of Russia, should con¬
test the gold medal between them.

Finland took their first gold medal o£
the championships when Sara
Essayah won the 10,000metres walk in
a championship record time erf 42mm
37sec. Russia leads the medals (able
with three golds.
